2nd Guide Client Catches – Another to the ‘Craw…’

NOTE: My 2nd Guide Joe’s remaining 2025 availability can be found at the bottom of this post.

It has been a very good start to the season down here in south Devon. And although still rather cool out of the Sun, at night, or when caught in the breeze, there are enough bass around to keep things very interesting at present – and with a bit more warmth, I feel it could really explode!

Seeking shelter from the wind is important to be able to really ‘feel’ what is happening in regard to working certain lures – especially those that require an element of finesse.

Armed with a collection of Megabass Sleeper Craws that he’d read all about and was as ‘keen as mustard’ to utilise, Joe’s client for this session (a regular of mine called Jud) was only too happy to oblige when I suggested they should tuck out of the wind inside of one south Devon’s many beautiful waterways.

The venue, the tactics, the lure choice, and of course the tuition and advice provided by the guide all played their part in ensuring that this session was a successful one – blimey these lures are good aren’t they!

Jud’s 57cm bass that he was expertly placed onto by Joe – a fish that Jud said swam down in the flow with its dorsal fin out of the water like a ‘Great White Shark’.

As before, and indeed going forward with these ‘Client Catches’ posts, I describe how this fantastic capture (that was Jud’s first on a creature bait lure incidentally) was achieved in the Audio Clip below:

Nice one Jud!
