I went about a month ago with James and you won't regret it. It wasn't the best conditions weather wise for what I was actually wanting to learn but we improvised and he taught me more than I can retain in one day LOL. He also went above and beyond to make sure I got my moneys worth due to those conditions. Will definitely be booking another trip in the future.
I have been back out a few times since the trip with him and landed a lot of fish I never would have targeted before and definitely added to my arsenal.

Ken,
I want to go with you sometime and fish nothing but 10lbs test or less with spinning tackle. Is that an invitation or a challenge James?  Both  I'll call you Go watch the movie Quigley Down Under. I never said I couldnt use a finesse rig. I said I didnt have a use for one.

Probably the big bass' version of "mooning" you.

Good post Ken. Remember the two tails that were sticking up by the reeds when we were there. They were over a foot across. Don't have a clue what they were doing almost side by side, standing on their heads. I guess they were Thumbing us. Thanks for sharing. There are some  in there. Probably their way of "mooning" you.
