About the Author: Steve was a we bit fed up of modern writing about angling, with all its bumph and carp mania. So full of egos chasing the same fish. Very few have any watercraft skills these days, so he writes for you the average angler, two books, one confessions of a Northern angler, where he combines many aspects of the sport to form a book about the background of anglings times past and present. A colourful book about anglers and fish. his intention is to ease the way to book two, Confessions of a Northern Angler Hidden Secrets. This book is about HARD water craft, the fish, and least of all the angler and ego. It is as it is, a world where science meets the natural world. A fisherman of over fifty years with more experience than most. Steve has broke many records in the UK without batting an eye, fish are fish end of. A quiet angler but also an up to date angler, unfazed by modern developments. He uses all that he knows, most of it is simple common sense. But both books can only improve an anglers abilities. His large captures speak for themselves and a lack of blank sessions speaks volumes. So be prepared to step into the humble world of angling from an entirely different perspective. Big carp, pike eel, Tench, roach, perch and many others are mentioned. The guzzle bucket the carp is in Steve's mind the most over rated fish we fish for, all because of fashion. Much more difficult species are out there. so enter the world of angling as it is, and hang on! for he comes at you from a very different perspective. His aim was to introduce HARD water craft at its best. Book one is for the build up. Hidden secrets is for the true professional and learner. The learning never stops. Book three is on its way. If you wish to learn then book one is the beginning, book two is essential. He has tried successfully to bring to the average angler ways to better themselves. This was his intention. Isaack Walton would be pleased. Many anglers don't even know that there are at least eleven ways to attach a float this is due to fashions eroding thousands of years of learning. Steve unravels the secrets of the deeps and those secrets of the fish. Act counter act, and counteract again, for it is the fish that dictate and not the angler.
