About me:
From the age of 12 fishing in general has been a big part of my lifestyle. I started as any young lad should, down a local club lake with my dad learning how to be patient whilst watching a bobbing stick float and twitching swing tip.
As I began to mature into a young man the satisfaction of float and feeder fishing seemed to wear off and I craved a new challenge. I tried my hand at match fishing for a few years and although it was only local club waters and open venues, it was extremely enjoyable and where I found my passion for catching carp.. From here I moved on to fishing local day ticket waters with smaller fish & higher stocks, just learning as I went along.
As time went on my fishing improved, I moved from these venues to bigger more challenging carp waters reducing my catch rate but getting ever closer to that fish of a lifetime.
Question: Current favourite venue & one in which you aspire to fish.
Answer: Chad lakes home pool is certainly top of my list closely followed by my current cotswold syndicate, as for lakes in which I aspire to fish.. It would have to be ashmead.

Question: Who is or was your angling inspiration when growing up and why?
