Great Day Out

Great day out definitely worth the 5 hours driving. Plenty of fish caught. we will be back again soon.

Great experience

A very positive experience being guided by The Gambling Angler. 
Attention to detail was something to behold. 
Supplied bait, rigs and weights, all included in the price.
Good communication before the date which lead to an easy RVP. 
Location; discussion on how the mark would be fishing.
Fishing; discussion on bait and how to present it, and why we were using the particular rig.
Good company though out the day.
A worthwhile experience, looking forward to my next session.

— Andrew Newby

Excellent Fishing Guide

Jansen Teakle really knows his stuff! He provided a great day’s fishing, packed with knowledgeable insights into equipment, bait, technique and our environment. Would thoroughly recommend his guided days to beginners and experienced anglers.

— Paul C.

Brilliant guide

Jansen's a great guy and a brilliant guide. My wife Becci and I had a lovely evening catching chunky congers from a local shore mark. Date of experience: 19 November 2022
