About me

 

Hello My Name is Jamie. 

 

Below is about me and my Fishing story which will Help you get to know me better :)

I have been Fishing since aged 8. I have 29 years of fishing experience from shore and boat.  

Over my years of fishing I've had some good sessions. Here is just a few of the species I have caught.. Bass 12.10lb, Smooth-Hound 17lb, Rays 22lb, Cod 31lb, Conger 55lb, Mullet 5lb, Brown trout 18lb, Sea trout 15lb, and many more UK species.

My Love for Lure Fishing Started at around 12 years old when I started Fishing for Brown Trout, Sea Trout, Bass and Mullet in My Local River. I was Catching Trout up to 18lb, Bass to 8lb and Mullet to 5lb, Mainly using Mepps Spinners and abu Toby Lures. I would sometimes trail a Garden worm or Ragworm behind the spinner which Caught me plenty of Trout, Mullet and Bass. One other method which worked well for me was using a fly and split shots. Keeping the Fly Mid water and twitching it in the strong water flow. This method caught me one of my biggest Lure caught bass to date.

Most of my 29 years of Fishing has been using Lures from shore & Boat. Over the Last 5 years I have spent 90% of my time Lure fishing for Bass from the shore, which has recently seen me sell my Fishing boat. 

I find Lure fishing from the shore more challenging and much more enjoyable. There's just something very calming and relaxing about grabbing my Lure rod and bag, setting off on the hunt for Bass Along the shore. 

I mainly fish Estuaries and beaches for my Lure fishing sessions. In my time I've had over 86 Bass in a 4hr Lure fishing trip. I've had over 8 double figure Bass on bait & Lures.

There are occasions When I don't catch a single Bass! This is Fishing and what I Love about Lure fishing, you never know what each session will bring. 

Myself & My Wife Rachel own a small fishing tackle shop on Lymington Quay, Hampshire. This is Something I dreamed about for most of my Life.  I have been very fortunate to be able to achieve this. We have owned the shop for the past 4 years and thoroughly enjoy it.

We have made quite a few changes in this time and plan to keep expanding the fishing section within the shop. One of my reasons for starting my guided Fishing tuition is having a lot of Locals and tourists visit the shop and enquire about fishing Lessons.

As well as owning the shop I also run my own painting & decorating business and have my own Lure brand - Predator Lures. I plan to cut my painting hours down to commit more time in Lure making and fishing, which is my passion! 

I am always happy to help with guidance and advice From my Personal Views, opinions and Experience. Many Thanks, Tight Lines ;)
