When
I started fishing I devoured any kind of reading material
related to bass fishing in my quest to learn more about the
sport. I discovered a considerable shortage of good material
available in South Africa and had to resort to reading imported
books and magazines. As my knowledge and experience grew
I knew that I had accumulated a lot of information that I
could share with other bass anglers just starting out in
this wonderful sport of ours. This is when my association
with the Tight Lines Fishing magazine began; my first article
was published in the January 2001 issue and since then has
progressed to a regular monthly ‘Bass Sportsman’s Column’.
