In this warm, lively account of living on and by the sea, Sarah Drummond writes of life as an apprentice fisherwoman. Through her firsthand experience with small-scale commercial fishing in the Great Southern, Drummond documents a way of life--fishing--that is slowly dying as waters become politicized and fished out. She writes of fishing and of feuds, of life as an apprentice fisherwoman, and of all the fish that got away.
