I hope people would see me as a helpful and generous person, I am also someone who is trust worthy and honest. I give up a lot of time in order to help youngsters either become better anglers or become anglers for the first time, there is nothing more rewarding than see the smile on a youngsters face when they catch a carp , it’s priceless.

I have bags of patience and follow things through to the end. Being self-employed in my work I have to hold down a more than full time job and find the time for fishing, so organisation is key, I also have to remember those close to me, carp fishing isn’t the be all and end all in my life, there should always be time for family and friends.

In an angling situation, I never give in and like to be mobile, 90% of carp fishing is location. Find the fish and you’re in with a shout.
