Starting Off

Started fishing with my late father when I was about 7, around that time used to fish for a while then bugger about, get a rollicking, get bored and want to go home (nothings changed much ) ill say it before Thorpe does.

My first matches came when I was invited to join a club run by Billy Mahoney called the railway, it was a typical club team where we all wanted to win the club champs and every trophy that was going looking back were very good times, but things change and so did we.

We progressed in to the local leagues got a good battering the first year and decided that we didn’t like the feeling of losing that much, so a plan was hatched to try and win the league the following year.

At the time I was employed by British Rail (I didn’t say work cause you didn’t work on the railways) and this gave me and the others loads of time to practice, in fact so much time they held meetings to ban us from fishing the waters a week prior to the match.

We as a team went on to dominate the local scene for many a year and when you think that most matches were 144 pegs all on canals and rivers it took some doing, one or two of the team got offers of sponsorship and that ultimately broke the team up.


Meeting Gaz

I went on to fish for Cono-flex bits and Aylesbury Federation where I met Gaz and again after being in teams that dominated the local scene, decided to try my luck in different areas of the country. After a while I met back up with Gaz and to get me away from the canals we started Bream fishing together (lots of people have said to me they are good at Bream fishing but let me tell you Gaz taught me not only how to catch Bream but how to win the matches he has to be good)

We then progressed on to the Carp match scene which has been very kind to us both and whilst we were on the commercials we also found ourselves back on the canal at Tring in the opens winning matches not with Roach but bags of Carp we were so successful one year we won every match we entered in fact I still believe we hold the 5 hour and 3 hour match record, I still enjoy it to this day and every now and then I look for the odd canal match.

I have been fortunate to win Matches at White acres, Stafford Moor in the festivals also very lucky to win a national rivers title. Open wins on Rivers Lakes and canals (on one canal match of 200 pegs I got lucky and hooked a carp which not only won the match but won me a trip to the finals in Ireland) which I finished in the top ten.

Favourite Types of Fishing

• Blood and Joker on Canals
• Caster on Canals
• Squat and Pinkie
• Stick Float on small Rivers
• Pellet and Paste
• Up in the water with any type of bait.

In fact any type really as long as long as there is a small wager on the outcome.
