FAVOURITE METHODS: I think there is something special about watching a float. Whether it is running an Avon through a swim in search of chub, fishing a driftbeater lift style for tench or watching a zeppler bobbing away as it supports a nervous live bait, you can't beat the excitement of a float sliding from view.
FAVOURITE VENUES: The rivers Great Ouse and Nene, and numerous big weedy crystal clear low stock gravel pits.
ANGLING AMBITIONS: Just to continue improving my personal bests as much as possible and enjoying every precious minute l get to spend in the bank.
FAVOURITE ITEM OF TACKLE: My old Super Specialist Duo that I used to catch some wonderful fish on, but the Series 7 Avons are amazing rods for the money.
ABOUT: Jamie has a demanding full-time job and a young family, and like most anglers is limited to fish one day at the weekend or an evening or two in the week. Jamie has also been a member of the Northampton Specimen Group for over 8 years.
