TACKLEWAVE TEAM

I consider myself an avid and constant angler with over 40 years experience in both salt and freshwater, from shore or boat, here in the UK and abroad.

​

I'm still as enthusiastic today as I was in 1974 catching minnows and small trout in the New Forest although I find it hard to fish with anything other than my beloved lures these days!

After making my first cast at the age of 5 I have never put down a fishing rod. 40 years later you can find me fishing most weeks.

 

After qualifying as a professional boat skipper in 2026. I now also run the Tacklewave charter vessel "Mako My Day", which is 100% dedicated to lure fishing using either finesse tactics or species hunting.

​

I'm first to admit that I'm an average lure angler and a complete tackle tart. But, if I'm not getting up at sunrise to try and annoy bass, it's probably because I'm waiting for a rod-shaped parcel to arrive.

​

I lay in bed thinking about lure fishing, dream about lure fishing, and annoy my friends and family by glazing over mid-conversation thinking about lure fishing.
