AnglerDevon

Specialist saltwater angler based in the south west, but no stranger to freshwater having grown up in the south east. Started fishing local lakes and rivers at a young age, getting into lure fishing as a teenager and never looking back. Studying marine biology and oceanography at Plymouth university gave a unique knowledge into fish behavior. John is a full time waterman, working in water safety for film and events and for the RNLI as a beach lifeguard. Outside of work he’s either in the surf, spearfishing our obviously lure fishing. Mostly from "Morgawr", John and Bens Boston Whaler, which has undergone a custom refit to be the perfect fishing machine. Specialist modern techniques are johns favourite, aiming to fish as light as possible when able to. Utilising techniques such as darting, free rig and slow pitch jigging.
