Strong and aggressive, there are fish known to reach 700lbs (320kg) waiting to be caught right off British shores. Mike Thrussell has had a long-running battle with the 'porgie' over many years and this has given him an intimate knowledge of this shark and of the most effective techniques to catch it. He describes local and worldwide distribution of the porbeagle with comprehensive coverage of its anatomy, life cycles and habits in order to clarify the principles behind attracting it to the rod. The ideal tides, currents and weather patterns for a shark run are examined, with details on bait presentation, chum trails and the pros and cons of drift fishing and fishing at anchor. Providing both practical information and inspiration for the ambitious sea angler, First Run is a uniquely detailed and irresistible invitation to take up the challenge of this magnificent quarry." Chapters include: The porbeagle shark; Life-history and physiology; Distribution worldwide; Tides, currents, temperature and weather patterns; Baits and baitfish; Chum or scent trails; Bait presentation; Fishing at anchor; Drift fishing; Experimental angling; Light-tackle fishing; Shark boats; Shore fishing; Tackle; Some general advice; Conservation: responsible angling. .
