    About this ebook

    Fishing is one of the oldest activities known to man. Archaeologists have found ancient dumps of shell and bone, cave paintings depicting fishing and even hooks made from bone. There is even a theory that states we might be closer to the fish we try and catch than we think. The “Aquatic Ape Hypothesis” contends that human beings spent a time living by and catching their food from the shallows of lakes and oceans. The controversial theory contends years of living that helped us to look different from the apes and chimpanzees thought by some to be our ancestors because of this time evolving by water.

    The ancient river Nile was an angler’s paradise. The Egyptians relied on fresh and dried fish as a staple in their diets, and the various methods they used have been well represented in many ancient representations from their lives. Although they had some tools like nets, baskets and even hooks and lines, the fish caught were often clubbed to death. Perch, catfish and eels were among the most important catches in the Egyptian times.

    The other bed of civilization, Greece, did not share Egypt’s love of fishing. Still, there is a depiction on a wine cup from 500 BC that shows a boy kneeling over a stream with a live capture net in the water below him. It’s unclear why the boy was ‘fishing’ however, since the device is clearly for live capture. There is also evidence the Romans fished with nets and tridents off the sides of boats. One of their most famous Gods, Neptune, is depicted usually with a fishing trident. There are references to fishing in the Bible, too.

    Perhaps the most recognizable tool for fishing is the hook. No one knows for certain, but it’s quite probable prehistoric man was using some form of a hook over 40,000 years ago. Experts have had some problems pinning down exact dates since they know most of the materials used back then were most likely wood and not very durable. British Isle anglers catch fish with hooks made from the hawthorn bush, right up to the present day. Although Stone Age man had the tools necessary for making bone hooks, it is hard for scientists to get exact dates since bone does not define its age well. The oldest known hooks have turned up in Czechoslovakia, but others have turned up in Egypt and Palestine. The Palestinian hooks are believed to be over 9,000 years old, proving that fishing has been around for a very long time indeed.

He always firmly believed to create his own foot prints for others to follow than to follow other`s foot prints.  In the process he was let down several time by friends turned envy, coming across scammers, poltroon freaks try to suck happiness out of your life, he has seen the worst phase of life but he kept 100% faith in his hardwork, with 3 D`s, Dedication, Determination and Devotion.By the age of 17th, he made his 1st million and since then there had been no turning back.. He is a stock trader, blogger, affiliate marketer, author of best selling fiction and non- fiction books on several epub think tanks. He has been ranked 5th on most admired teen of South Asia and his books have been rated in New York Best Selling author. He believes with the birth of Internet Technology, it has become very easy for an individual to gain knowledge on any topic but people are too busy to search for it.  He firmly believes knowledge should be spread and if there is something which can be beneficial for others, share it.  This is one another reason why his books are kept @ $.99 so that it can be afforded by everyone.  People living on disability income, employed, unemployed, teens, school going kids. He further guesses there comes a phase in every one`s life when they can without thinking can spend $.99. A double cheeze hamburger costs much more than his books (lol).  So in short, Sid is a guy who loves to share knowledge with nothing expected in return.  It is highly recommended to look for a solution to any problem first in his ebooks, than to shed couples of hundreds of dollars ( your hard earned money) for the piece of information easily available for $.99
