BOOK REVIEW

FISHING IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS WAS IT REALLY BETTER?

BOB KEARNEY, MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY PRESS

HIS is a great read. Bob Kearney has produced a book that combines his passion for rec fishing with his fisheries research career and gives us 15 chapters that recount wonderful fishing experiences in his “good old days”, centred around the Kingscliff rock fishing spots he fished heavily in the late 1950’s through the 1960’s, and sporadically beyond.
