Are you the owner of Devon Bass Pro Charters?
Devon Bass Pro Charters, located in Seaton, offers exceptional wreck fishing experiences for bass on the East Devon Coast. Captain John Wallington, the experienced skipper of the Outcast III, specialises in catching big bass off the wrecks of Lyme Bay. With over 15 years of sustainable line caught fishing techniques under his belt, Captain John provides a thrilling fishing adventure while also ensuring the conservation of fish populations.
On charter trips, Captain John provides his clients with light line 'sports' tackle free of charge, allowing them to experience the excitement of fighting and landing bass, pollack, and cod. He also imparts his knowledge of new techniques that have yielded successful results in catching a wide variety of fish. The Outcast III is a fast Cougar Cat, powered by twin Selva x40S engines (115hp each), ensuring a smooth and efficient fishing experience. With a width of 3 metres, the boat's deck layout is carefully designed by Captain John himself.
The Outcast III is licenced to carry up to 8 people, including the skipper. Whether individuals or small groups, clients can easily book a full day's wreck fishing trip for bass in Lyme Bay off the Devon and Dorset Coast. The duration of each trip typically ranges from 8 to 10 hours, depending on the tide times and weather conditions. Clients are allowed to keep the best single fish of each species they catch, while the remaining catch contributes to the boat's operational costs, allowing Captain John to keep the charter fees affordable.
For those seeking a more personalised experience, the boat can be exclusively chartered for groups of 1 to 6 anglers at a rate of 300 per day. Additionally, one tide trips for wreck fishing are offered at a price of 100 for up to 4 people. These trips last approximately 4 hours and are available during daylight hours only, on days with a 'neap' tide.
Captain John Wallington is a highly experienced fisherman who has been fishing in Lyme Bay for over 15 years. Through his full-time commercial angling career, he has become a specialist in catching line-caught bass, employing sustainable practises to preserve fish populations. As one of the main suppliers to Hugh Fearnley-Whitingshall's prestigious River Cottage establishments, Captain John's commitment to quality and sustainability is evident.
Join Captain John on a fishing trip and learn from one of the UK's best bass anglers as he teaches you his methods and techniques. Customers have the opportunity to keep the biggest bass of any species they catch, while the rest of the catch is used to support the boat's operations and Captain John's services, ensuring reasonable charter fees.
