Location: Gloucester
Team: Daiwa Gordon League
Highest match weight: 394lb Rolfs Lake

25lb 9oz, my biggest fish to date

Most memorable matches:

26lb at Radley on the Angling Times.  I had 20lb of roach and 6lb of chub.  I won my section, but was only fourth overall!  An awesome part of the river Thames.

I had 24lb of a squatt roach on the Kennet and Avon canal at Crofton.  I had 367 fish, run out of squatt with an hour to go and therefore loose fed pinkies and the fish got even bigger and quicker…..

Sponsors:

Vespe and Miracle Baits, also Daiwa.   (Daiwa are the team sponsors)

Angling Influences:

Neil Richards help me a lot in my younger days, when I fished for Swindon Talisman, now Colmic Talisman.  When I joined Drennan Oxford aged 23, Mick Denton helped me immensely, especially in the way of thinking to approach a venue.  Drennan Oxford continue their success, with a good bunch of lads.

Favourite methods and tackle:

Drennan Zircon for my silver fish and the Drennan Icon for carping.
