Angling History and Achievements: Started sea fishing on the south coast as a boy and moved to freshwater angling in my teens. In 1975 after leaving the Navy I took up Carp fishing and have been lucky to have fished most of the famous Colne Valley pits including Savay, Cons., and the Fisheries. I have caught UK fish to 42 and French fish to 48, but am still hunting a UK 40+ common, my current best being 37=14.
Most memorable angling moment: Catching my first 30+ carp from Savay in 1980 in the company of Rod Hutchinson and Andy Little.
Favourite Venues: Colne Valley Pits.
Future plans / Venues you would like to fish: I will be concentrating on a new syndicate in Essex as well as regular trips to the Fisheries and various venues in France.
