ABOUT: I started fishing at the age of 4 when my dad used to take me and my brother down to local venues such as the River Glen near Spalding. My first ever junior match was at age eight on the North Level Drain at Tydd Gote, and I actually ended up winning it. Ever since the fascination and drive to win has never left! I started match fishing much more and then joined Sensas Mk1, who have been very welcoming and helped me. I have carried this information into my international fishing for the past 3 years, where I have been lucky enough to be part of some great teams under the influence of brilliant management. For me, my heart lies within the international side of angling as I don’t believe there is a bigger buzz than fishing for your country.
