The Complete Fishing Bible

The Complete Fishing Bible 6th Edition is a comprehensive fishing bible for both novices and seasonal anglers. Updated sports fishing tips, fish species, the latest in tackle, technology, techniques, as well as fishing in saltwater and freshwater are all covered. You'll also find boating tips including sounding, hot fishing spots, and so much more.

Al's favourite recipes are also included for when you've caught the fish! Alistair McGlashan, affectionately known as Al, is a renowned Australian angler, photographer, television personality, and is best known for his fast-paced fishing content that he hosts and produces. His shows, Fishing with Mates and Fish Forever, are not just about catching fish; they take the plunge into a whole new world—whether it be diving with sperm whales, swimming with giant tuna, or hand feeding huge stingrays. The list goes on, and he has updated his best-selling book The Complete Fishing Bible.

Almost five million people fish in Australia, making it one of our most popular pastimes. It is as diverse as Australia is big and caters to all types. You can go hardcore and chase giant bluefin tuna in the wild and woolly Southern Ocean, or stalk a wily trout on a fly in a high country stream. You can literally fish anywhere for just about anything—from a boat, a wharf, fishing off the rocks, up a creek, or out to sea—and you are always in with a chance of catching something.

It is this diversity that makes fishing so exciting and challenging, and Al is here to inspire you to get out there and give it a go with the confidence of learning from one of Australia’s best!
