Venues fished: Literally hundreds all over the world from small English silty estate lakes to some of the biggest natural lakes in the world (e.g. Balaton and Lake Ontario).

 

Favourite venues: In the UK, runs type waters where I can push to get a few bites. Overseas I prefer the challenge of big public waters – eg Cassien, Balaton, Madine

 

Target fish you would most like to catch: Any 32kg (70lb) plus fish from a new country.

 

Top carp fishing tip: Always keep your eyes open and act on your instincts. The chances are if you think you should be doing something… you probably should.

 

Aim in angling: This year (2018) it is to catch as many big fish from as many countries as possible. I’d like to have a chance to beat my PB both in UK and overseas, but it isn’t going to be easy. In general it is to win a 3^rd World Title / Gold Medal and lead the English teams to more victories in international events.

 

Highlight of angling career: Being able to promote my sport and my country. Being chosen to represent England at the highest level in both and angling and a managerial capacity – and of course winning the World Championships twice (1996 and 2015). Gold medals are addictive!!

 

Countries Carp Fished:  England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, USA , Canada, South Africa, Morocco, Czech Republic, Hungary.

 

Other types of fishing: I fish for all sorts but am a carp angler first and foremost. I love stick float fishing on rivers, lure fishing for predators, and have recently started fly fishing. They’re all really enjoyable…. but carp fishing is the best.
