ABOUT:

My fishing has taken a big change of direction in the last couple of years. Steering away from commercial-based matches and more towards international-style fishing because of commitments with the England freestyle team.  This has seen me travel to some fantastic venues in Bulgaria and Spain with lots more planned! The variety of the fishing and complete contrast to UK-based fishing is a massive draw for me, and the chance to represent your country is a huge honour and something I'm very proud of.

That being said I still find time for plenty of coaching as part of my role at the Drennan Lindholme complex where I take great pride in helping anglers new and old with various tactics or problems in their own fishing.

In between coaching and international commitments, I enjoy fishing big-money qualifiers and festivals, where i have qualified for the Golden Reel, Feeder King and the Drennan Ultimate Bomb and Feeder Champs finals.

Festival-wise, the Iberian masters is always a big draw, but back home, there is plenty I have my eye on when the opportunity arises. But for now, the main focus is winning a gold medal with the England Freestyle team.
