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!

Client Catches – Out of the doldrums

A veritable feast of lure caught bass for my clients, but it hasn’t been easy to find them, or what they want!

Recent client catches, in addition to examples of the capricious nature of the bass and how we’ve overcome this.

When bass are fixated on one food source, is there a tactic you can use to enhance your chances? I believe so…

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

A dossier of client catches, including the methods, lure types and the reasons behind the tactics.

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

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!

All this wind and rain has made it difficult in comparison to last winter – but the bass are still there!

My final blog post of the decade! Thank you to my readers, clients, family and friends. Happy New Year!
