“I’d fished for most of my life, but only for bass in the last 18 months. I booked with Marc, wanting to learn as much as possible! Well what can I say , it was awesome and I’m still buzzing about it two months later!”

“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.”
