BRAND AMBASSADOR
GAVIN RICHARDSON
Like any good wine, our Brand Ambassador
Gavin Richardson’s Bass fishing career just
keeps getting better every year. His steady
rise in the ranks - after a late start aged 50 -
soon established this “rookie” as a serious
contender for top honours in this highly
competitive sport.
Now a seasoned veteran, with a string of
catches and awards, Gavin firmly believes
that Lowrance has played an integral role in
his success. He has used Lowrance fishfinders
since he got involved in competitive Bass
fishing in 2000 and was one of the first anglers
in KwaZulu-Natal to use a Lowrance colour
finder.
He says, “I do not doubt that my use and
understanding of Lowrance products has
contributed hugely to my success as a Bass
angler. I have been a firm believer in keeping
myself up-to-date with the latest Lowrance technology and currently run an HDS 9, two
HDS 7’s, and an HDS 12 unit. I use all four of these Lowrance Fishfinders, in conjunction
with the Fishtec inland charts, for various applications while I am fishing.”
Gavin grew up In Phalaborwa
and started fishing with his
dad when he was about six. He
remembers trips to Vaal Dam
and catching Carp, Yellowfish
and other species. After moving
to Pretoria, (after high school), a
friend introduced him to Artlure
fishing and he joined the Classics
Spinfishing Society. During this
time, he cottoned on to the thrill
of Bass fishing.
