Fishing for a beginner family at Puddledock

Mark is a great tutor. He knew exactly how to keep my children (10 and 8) engaged whilst also passing on the detail I needed to be be able to pick up fishing fundamentals quickly. Mark has a depth of knowledge that he can share in easy to understand steps. We all managed to catch fish on the day and had such a great time!

Well organised and good fun.

We had a great afternoon learning the basics of course fishing with Mark. He is a very supportive and patient teacher and the lessons are very well organised. Good fun too! I feel much more confident now to go out fishing with my 8-year old son.

Worth every penny, we’ll be back

Booked a session for 4 as a birthday gift for my brother. We were all complete beginners and Mark was great with us. We had fun and had a great time learning. Mark was patient and happy to explain things whenever asked. He did his best to make sure we get the most out of our time. We’re discussing our next session already

Fishing with mr Crabtree/ Mark…

Just got back from a terrific morning with Mark. Gave the experience to a friend for his 77th and went along as well.
Neither of us had been near a fishing rod for over 60 years. Mark made it a hugely enjoyable time. Well done mark and I caught most fish

The lessons were for my 13 yo grandson Freddy.
Mark being a very knowledgable, friendly and pleasant man made Freddy feel very relaxed with him almost immediately. Mark obviously has a gift of making his clients feel at ease. On the first lesson Freddy, had a great day and caught 5 gorgeous carp, one of which was 11.50lbs plus some Rudd and roach.
I cannot recommend Mark highly enough not simply because of his angling tutoring skills but because people take to him.

My adult children bought me fishing…

My adult children bought me fishing tuition lessons with Mark . I must say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.
Mark is extremely patient, explaining things as many times as necessary . I don’t think I could have had a better experience, catching plenty of fish over several lessons. If you are interested in learning how to fish, I would not hesitate in recommending Mark .

River cruise/Seals Wallasea Island

My partner and I had a fantastic boat trip, it was lovely to see the seals. Mark is very knowledgeable with the area and local wildlife.
Felt very safe onboard with life jackets provided and safety advice.
Mark is also a brilliant photographer, he took many pictures which were sent over on the same day.
Drinks were provided, I can’t wait for our next trips to Pagelsham and another to Burnham on Crouch. Thank you Mark we had an amazing day, have recommended you to everyone and know a few have booked trips already.

Had great trips with Mark

Had great trips with Mark, a very experienced Angler, both Fresh & Salt Water ( aboard " Northern Lights " ). I've caught Carp to 36lb & good numbers of Bass, Smooth Hound ETC, under his tuition. Well Worth Booking....
