Fishing Tips and Videos
Stay in touch with my blog and I will share loads of Fishing Tips to help you catch more fish and enjoy your time on the bank. I use a mixture of video demonstrations and written descriptions to help you get the most out of your time when you go fishing. I’ve always found my clients learn the best when they can practice things for themselves. In between lessons why not check out a few videos and see if your catches improve. If there is a particular question you would like me to answer then drop me a line on the contact page.
Most of the fishing tips are focussed on coarse fishing in cornwall which will include carp fishing and pike fishing in cornwall. I also have a small boat so from time to time when I can get out to sea I’ll share those adventures as well. There’s nothing I like more than catching blue sharks in Cornwall and from a boat that’s not much bigger than the fish it can get very exciting!
