Welcome to my website page where you can keep up to date with my angling exploits as well as look back at some of my memorable catches. My main focus is carp, and over the years I’ve managed to catch them from more than 300 different waters, including 50-pounders from seven different countries (England, France, South Africa, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Germany).
For almost thirty years I’ve been a sponsored angler, working as a consultant for top brands like Avid Carp, and together with Rob Hughes I was the co-winner of the first ever global carp match, the World Carp 1996.
I spend most of my time fishing in Yorkshire where I currently live, but I love nothing more than travelling to new destinations and meeting like-minded anglers from different cultures.
I hope that my site and links can inspire you to follow your carp fishing dreams just like many others have done for me.

Winter is a tricky time of the year to go carp fishing in the UK. Not only do the fish slow down, the long dark nights in the bivvy, combined with the colder weather make it a challenge. This month’s vlog covers my fishing on the popular day ticket venue Ladywood Lakes in Yorkshire, where I made a few trips in December, January and February. It features my tactics and thoughts, as well as a few catches along the way. For more information, visit: www.ladywoodlakes.co.uk
