Welcome to A Fisherman’s Tale. I would like to tell you my brief story on why I decided to set up a website and what I hope it will achieve. In 2011 I was introduced to predator fishing in the UK when a couple of my good friends invited me out for a session on Bleinheim water in Oxfordshire. I can confidently say that it was on that day landing my very first lure caught pike of no more than 4lbs that my passion started. I needed to know everything I could about predator fishing I spent hours researching the internet reading blogs,articles and even brought all the “how too” books to get ahead of the game. I want to share this knowledge and learning with you through my stories and experiences on A Fisherman’s Tale. Please feel free to get in contact with me if you would like to contribute to the information I share or think there is any improvements that I can make by clicking here Who am I?
