Last week we let you know that bass guru and SWFF expert Jim Hendrick would be hosting a series of 10 SWFF workshops that were to be offered between May and October 2024.
Happily but unfortunately at the same time, I was advised midweek that all of the dates were filled over the long weekend. Jim has managed to accommodate one or two extra inquiries into his busy schedule but advises that the courses are now fully subscribed. Jim thanks all those who signed up and looks forward to meeting and seeing you all over the coming weeks and months.
Keep an eye out on Jims’s website and blogs for details of any possible dates for 2025. We will let you know as soon as we have any word on future events.
Jim has hands on experience as a professional guide and is an avid angling writer, blogger and photographer. He also has a BSc degree in Tourism Enterprise Management from WIT.
Fishing for bass from boyhood Jim has worked his way through the ups and downs of bass fishing both personally and professionally. I have been lucky to share many adventures with him during his guiding years roughly 10 to 12 years or so from 2003 to 2015.
On one such outing with a party of French journalists back in 2003/4 Jim delivered an astounding catch of circa fifty bass to 7lbs and 70 pollack to 8lbs for the group. All returned safely to the water. That was then !
Always operating quietly under the radar during this period, Jim put over three hundred bass angler’s form France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, the UK, Denmark and the USA through his hands, delivering angling adventures and experiences that will live in the memories of his clients for the rest of their lives. A good number of Jims guests became repeat clients with some returning annually and even biannually to him.
Jim has recorded some great fish during his saltwater fly fishing expeditions including bass and sea trout to over 10lbs in weight. For SWFF enthusiasts Jim has a wealth of information and advise on his website and blog.
