Age: 75

I have been a fisherman since I was a kid fishing the River Lea, Finsbury Park Lake, Hampton Court Long Water, Highgate Ponds where I first night fished for Bream or Tench sitting on a box, paraffin lamp & dough bobbins and have fished for over 60 years. Carp fishing is my passion and have fished many venues in England and Europe, not always successfully with a few blanks on the way but have always enjoyed it. I have fished almost all types of waters, from small ponds to big lakes, runs waters and also low stocked waters catching a few nice carp along the way and met some great people. I just enjoy the long sessions bivvied up waiting for a run!

I am a semi-retired freelance graphic artist specialising in the fishing sector, producing rig drawings, illustrations, designs etc. for many major fishing companies, magazines and anglers.
