John was a regular shore-fisherman around the west coast of Wales for over thirty years. His book on the area, Shore Fishing: a Guide to Cardigan Bay, was published in 2013 to very positive reviews and in spring 2015, he began offering tuition and guiding in the district.
His local patch ran from south of Aberystwyth to north of Tywyn, although he ventured further afield. It's a beautiful section of the Welsh coast, with stunning scenery. Its rich wildlife not only includes fish: sightings of dolphins and porpoises often add to the experience.
There's a wide range of fish species available depending on the time of year and type of ground that is fished, so long as the weather-gods are in a good mood. John guided many experienced and beginner anglers along this wonderful stretch of Welsh coastline.
