In the past holiday period I have taken several chilren out fishing for Bass. I always start with the drop shot methid as it is relatively easy and always produces fish. Some times I have to support the rod for the child to help him get in a bigger fish but I relly love it. The children love it also and as long as they catch a fish every now and then they maintain interest. It is important that a childs first fishing expereince is a good one, as it will keep them coming back the rest of theri loves.

Being a fishing guide allows you to fish with all types of people from all walks of life, all ages and all with different expereince. You learn something new everyday.

Bio: I have been fishing since I was 5 years old in Durban and have fished many places around the world and in South Africa, but Durban is my home waters. I fished competitive for many years and I have been running my own charters since 2008 with 2 companies and 2 boats, fish a variety of styles and target a variety of fish species in both Salt and Fresh water, have many published articles in several magazines on fishing. Love nature and outdoors, Am very conservation minded and have a passion for birds. I am crazy about big Tuna, Marlin Fishing and Game Fishing, and also love light tackle spinning, am a total lure junkie. Represented my province in fly fishing for many years and am also pro staff for Rapala/Shimano. I want to write a book on fishing one day. 3 items left on my fishing bucket list, guess then a new bucket list will be in order. As a writer I have my own quote: \"I love taking people fishing because it releases their inner child, and in doing so keeps my inner child alive.\"
