Hello from Incheon

[bassaddixx]

Hello, My name is William (Will) Stewart. I'm an Air Force vet who has been living in Korea for 5 years off and on. I'm originally from Missouri. Grew up fishing Lake of the Ozarks from the age of 5. Fished about every lake in the state. Moved to Lake Sherwood, Mo. in 2006 when I got out of the Air Force and now I have been in Korea teaching English and working with Pure Fishing Korea. I have been tournament fishing for about 6 years now. I have been writing articles for Lure and Fly magazine, which is the largest Bass publication on the ROK,(a must buy even if you can't read Korean it has all the best info for Bass fishing in Korea) for 1 year and have been fishing derbies in Korea for the last year and a half. Signed on as a Pro Staff with Pure Fishing Korea at the start of this year. I heard about this forum from Kevin and thought I might be able to help everyone out with tournaments, where to go, what patterns work here and which don't. Although the weather and topography are similar to the mid western states the bait fish, fish habitat and fishing conditions are all different. So the patterns here are a bit different then they are back home. For the most part however a Bass is a Bass.

Don't want to write a book, but if your curious about: Tournaments, Pro Shops, Hot Spots or Patterns then please feel free to ask. You can contact me here, or by e-mail, facebook.com/BassAddixx, twitter.com/BassAddixx or on my web site BassAddixx.com

Last note. Pure Fishing Korea is holding a free Saturday/Sunday 4 man team tournament event where they put you up in a hotel and give out samples and stuff on May 28th and 29th. I'll talk to the boss and see if I cant clear a spot for Team America. Space is limited to 12 teams but I'll see what I can do.

Catch More Fish!

it sounds great i dont think TAF would have any issues entering such a turney and putting up a good fight while we are there and i think i speak for all whe i say that if you have input onto how the fish are reacting at any givin time please put it into our tips/tricks or fishing reports section for us to look at

thanks a lot

Thanks again Will for posting. It was good to finally speak to you today. Your input is definitely appreciated. I'm hoping that one day this site will become a great resource for foreigners fishing in Korea, and with the help of people like you we can do it.

Also, does Lure and Fly have a website? I'm going to get my girlfriend to help me sign up, if only for the tournament info you mentioned.

I live in incheon and would love to know where i can go fishing nearby! Any help?

Hi. I live in Pyongtaek and from what I've noticed is that almost every body water has bass in it. I would suggest to use google maps and locate bodies of water and rivers and give it shot. I've had luck catching fish almost everywhere but I've never fished up near the Incheon area. Wish you the best of luck.
