8 Hour Guiding Days

Completed by Owner/Director – Marc Cowling

• My 8 hour ‘Guiding Days‘ are between May and November and are for a minimum of 2 anglers (unless one angler insists on 1-2-1 tuition and is willing to pay for the fee for the whole day). * I am happy however to guide 3 people on these Guiding Days providing you are coming together, and are therefore, already acquainted *
• NOTE: You do not need to ‘find’ a fishing companion in order to partake on one of the Guiding Days, as I can ‘pair up’ the singletons as it were. 
• Prices for the 8 hour Guiding Days are as follows:
• 1 angler – £300 (if 1-2-1 tuition is insisted on)
• 2 anglers – £150 per person
• 3 anglers – £110 per person
• * A deposit of £50 is required to secure each position.

“I would highly recommend South Devon Bass Guide Ltd.

I was taken out by Joe on a freezing winter day and straight from the off I was given some tips that really helped with basic set up issues I was having. The location was truly stunning despite the cold which made the experience fantastic for me. Add to that fantastic company with a great bloke and guide it’s a great experience.

His watercraft knowledge was fantastic and he explained things very well. He has an in depth knowledge of when and where fish will be travelling, how to intercept them and best lures to use for the situation. He gives great information and demonstrations of lure use and how best to place them.”
