Summary
Join these two comedy greats and lifelong friends on their journey from recuperation to riverbank in this hilarious and heart-warming audiobook that gives you a front-row seat at an exclusive Bob and Paul production.
Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed with heart disease and realised that time is short. They'd better spend it fishing....
So they dusted off their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on some of life's most profound questions, such as: How did we get so old? Where are all the fish? What are your favourite pocket meats? What should we do if we find a corpse?
Following the success of the BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing series, this wonderful audiobook by two lifelong friends is a love letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a right daft laff with your mates. On the fish, the equipment, the food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect audiobook for fans of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to listen to a brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life, friendship and joys of fishing.
Audio edition includes an exclusive fishing trip with Bob and Paul.
Critic reviews
"One of the best audiobooks of 2019." (The Guardian)
"Mortimer and Whitehouse natter away in the most enjoyable, natural way, with plenty of off-page asides and affectionate nitpicking." (Sian Cain, The Guardian)

If you buy one book, buy this! It's perfect x
I'm bereft..I've come to the end of what has been a truly emotional journey. This programme, this book & these humans have ignited in me the passion I always knew my late father had for fishing. He died when I was 20 & I never got the pleasure of spending time learning from him on the river. I have all his old nets & reels & 30 years later I've bought my very first fishing licence & I'm ready to go out & start my fishing journey. I hope my old dad is chuckling at my enthusiasm which Paul & Bob have developed & nurtured throughout every chapter. I can honestly say listening to them has brought me closer to what it is my dad loved about heading out to fish, the anticipation, the peaceful riverbank, the thrill of the chase. I actually cried at the end of the last chapter it's been such a journey. I wish I had a fishing buddy to start my journey with but I'm prepared to do this on my own. I live in a gorgeous part of the North East and once I get my head around the local places I'm allowed to fish on I'm off. I cannot thank Paul & Bob enough for all their words of wisdom & wit. I'd buy them a pint or two if they're ever in my neck of the woods for sure. So looking forward to series 2. Stay well you two, may you be fishing together for many more years! Mell

A lesson in Pace
Truly marvellous book that references the series but it only serves to compliment it. Lovely, and I’ll definitely listen to again so well worth it.

A good start that falls away quickly
An easy listen, which starts brightly with good humour but unfortunately this is not sustained and ends up being rather boring

Good Pals.
A light but informative listen.
These are good pals whose humour and friendship are infectious.
Makes you want to spend a few hours with them on the riverbank or in the pub.
Tight lines lads.

No interest in fishing but this was magnificent!
This was really entertaining from start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyable in the company of two guys who are not only funny but possess a real passion for their pastime. Entertaining and educational I would highly recommend this, whether you are into fishing or not!!!
Enjoy!!!
