Friday wouldn’t be the same without a Traces Magazine Friday Book Giveaway!
This week, we’ll be looking at The Catch – The Story of Fishing in Australia by Anna Clark.
In every coastal town in Australia, there’s a bait shop and a boat ramp. And, in garages around the country, fishing rods are strung up waiting for the next holiday, weekend or tide. Many of us have that special fishing spot that we daydream about – it could be the Sydney Harbour, where flathead hide in the sea grass and squid flirt with lures under a pier.
In this book, Anna Clark tells the story of fishing practices, from the first known accounts of Indigenous fishing and early European encounters with Australia’s waters to the latest fishing fads. Most of all, The Catch celebrates the enduring simple pleasure of throwing in a line and waiting for that tug on the end.
