I started out match fishing, winning the Ringwood youth match series on a number of occasions in the early 90's. I then moved on to carp fishing, and catching some huge fish, but my favourite was catching a 30lb 10oz mirror on a floater! After that, i decided to specimen fish for different species and have also bought a boat to fish for Cod, Bass, Ray and Conger. Other Highlights have included a huge 8.04 chub, 12.07 Barbel, 9.01 Tench, 3.05 Perch, 1.01 dace, 3.02 Rudd, lots of big carp from both lakes and rivers aswel as big pike and Bream to 10.02. A 8lb 2oz Mullet from a local harbour was also a highlite! Another highlite was winning my section during a qualifyer at the very first Fish o Mania comp on the Basingstoke Canal at only 14 years old, and whooping Mark Pollard from the next peg in the process!.........

I have 2 young children, a boy and girl (8 & 5) both who are keen to join me on the bank and i look forward to fun times in the future and hopefully helping them catch a fish or two!
