Client Catches – Beginners luck?

Facilitating and witnessing the success of someone who had never cast a lure before – what a buzz!

Client Catches – Perseverance is a virtue.

It only takes a second (and a 72cm bass!) to turn a quiet session into one you’ll reminisce about forever!

When the bass are proving difficult to ‘lure’, consider a completely new lure type or maybe a ‘forgotten’ method…

Watercraft, instinct and the right lure – added to a huge dollop of luck! How I landed a recent whopper!

With my guiding season having been delayed due to COVID-19 it feels great to be releasing this post!

The very specific type of venue, lure type and method of retrieving it that has started my season off nicely!

An almost perfect session as fellow angling writer, guide and photographer Henry Gilbey makes the trip over the border to south Devon.

An account of my 7lb+ ‘slab of silver’ lured on my self-designed needlefish – plus, that of a former clients’ 6 pounder!

Lightness, balance, power, precision, casting prowess, sensitivity and finesse -just some of my essential criteria!
