Globetrotter's Quest
"…When things become too easy and knowledge has swallowed all mystery, life becomes boring. Boredom feeds off repetition. Excitement feeds off the unknown…"
 
The major increase in numbers of fishermen sitting around crowded lakes, combined with the onward advancement of modern angling techniques, have resulted in an almost complete loss of the most important aspects that make fishing so special – the excitement of the unknown. This incredible book brings back the magic of ‘mystery’. It takes you into a world rarely seen by others – it bites at repetition and hooks you into excitement!

‘Globetrotter’ – Tony Davies-Patrick - has chosen the highlights from 25-years of incredible global fishing expeditions and illustrated them with the very best of his stunning colour photographs. This is a book unlike any other…. it not only transports the reader into the most amazing regions of world, it also touches the deepest regions of our souls…

A spectacular book that transcends all borders and unlocks all emotions…

The author, Tony Davies-Patrick, is one of the world’s most travelled anglers, and his global quest has taken him to some of the wildest regions of this planet. He has searched for big fish across 50 different countries, and has almost certainly caught carp from more of the world’s waters than any other carp angler. Although his love of carp gives that species priority on many of his adventures, he has also caught a mind-blowing list of huge fish of other species – including one of the world’s largest freshwater fish ever captured on rod & line.
