Oh dear, I screwed the link up. Here it is ... http://www.pesdapress.com/product_info.php...ate_banner_id=9

Many thanks to all who attended the launch - it was actually my first chance to get a close look at fishing SOTs, very nice. The gear freak in me was quite impressed ... I may start doing some shopping ... Anyway the book is now printed and available from this link. I hope it's of use to kayak anglers, I'd certainly be interested to hear any feedback in that respect. Best wishes, Mark Rainsley

Thanks for the kind comments. I'll update here when the book becomes available, right now I'm looking at pdf layouts from the publisher, very exciting seeing the book take shape! http://southwestseakayaking.co.uk/2008/03/01/265/ Mark Rainsley

Hello all, hope you are well. I thought you might be interested to hear of this event, a book launch/ social paddle in South Devon ... http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/SWSKbooklaunch.doc http://southwestseakayaking.co.uk/2008/02/...-an-invitation/ Hope this is of interest to some of you; let me know of you have any queries! Best wishes, Mark Rainsley

You misunderstood...I laughed you off.

Deeply, deeply funny, that's brightened my day. Thank you for sharing your perspective, your points are taken on board. Best wishes, Mark

Thanks...but the previous books aren't my work! Mark

Hi there...I was reminded of you lot when I made a visit to the fishmongers at Lulworth Cove today. I really must fish more... Anyway, I hope this is of interest to you. I'm working on a sea kayaking guide to the SW coast this year, I've been keeping note of my progress here... http://www.southwestseakayaking.co.uk The book is following on from the already-published 'Scottish Sea Kayaking' and 'Welsh Sea Kayaking' (see http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/booksguidebooks.htm). I am primarily aiming the book at paddlers wanting to make journeys along the coast (descriptions/ tidal info/ maps/ etc.) but I would be very interested to know if there are any particular things that might be of interest to kayak fishermen. Any thoughts or feedback welcome. Best wishes, Mark Rainsley Dorset

I've paddled all of that coast (in a 'classic' sea kayak), it really is fabulous, some of the best UK scenery I've seen - in particular the Castlemartin Ranges are awesome. However, tides are insanely strong and there are some pretty committing sections, plan carefully. 'Welsh Sea Kayaking' is highly recommended - http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/booksguidebooks.htm Also, take a look at this, which I wrote - http://www.ukseakayakguidebook.co.uk/short...south_pembs.htm This site should be pretty useful in general for advice - http://www.ukseakayakguidebook.co.uk/ Also - http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/forum/v...opic.php?t=7866 I failed to catch any fish at all, not for want of trying... Hope that helps... Mark Rainsley Corfe Castle Dorset
