Converted from match to pleasure fishing 15 years ago. I now fish mainly for Barbel also Chub and Pike in the winter months and Carp, Tench in the close season. PB's Barbel - Kennet 13lb 10oz, Loddon 12lb 2oz, Thames 11lb 13oz , Chub - 6lb 8oz Gt Ouse & Thames, Bream - 10lb R.Thames and Pike - 23lb Surlington Broad, Carp 31lb 10oz Mirror and 26lb 5oz Common. Tench 6lb 8oz so plenty of room for improvement.

I started rolling meat for Barbel and Chub following instruction from Jezz Brown wow what a buzz and I have already increased my catch rate!

Recently retired and like to get out at least 2-3 sessions a week mainly on the river Kennet Wasing fishery & Reading District, Thames around Windsor, Gt Ouse around Bedford and more recently the Upper Warwickshire Avon with my son Leyton.

Fishing is my passion and I am always up for new challenges!
