Where did it all start, I started my fishing chronicles I’d say when I was about 10 or 11.It was something I just got into my self. I started with just a reel and no rod and what little money I had I would buy my little pack of hooks size 18 and a few weights and floats,and if I could not afford maggots from the local (Harrys fishing tackle shop) I would use bread or elder berrys from the trees’s.I would cycle for ages just to catch a few roach or perch and the odd pike when it would chase the little fish I caught.And then when I hit secondary school I basically forgot about fishing some how.Then when I got into my early twentys a light clicked in my head and I was like,Oh yeah Fishing.So hooked up with a couple of mates who invited me to my first carp trip.I think it was a yately lake and I did not sleep all night
but nothing as I expected.So we went to a day ticket water Holme Grange Fishery and boom I was hooked on my first Carp..And so it all Started.Tackle was brought I was all geared up.Haveing done the basics with normal course fishing I felt confident in targeting bigger fish as that is where you really learn the skills.I flitterd between lakes and ponds until I stumbled apon Farlows lake round about 1991.First time I arrived I loved it,it was a lake I could turn up at anytime of day or night,plus its full of fetures and really wild to wet all carpers appetites.To be honest I basically lived their spending at least 5 to 6 days a week there.I was there so much the bailiff would turn up and just wave instead of charging me as I had become part of the bank side :).But as soon rules changed and they put a lock on the gate it was no place for me as my fishing hours are dictated by me not by a lake.And as other lakes are like this,If you don’t turn up by certain times you can’t come in I was a Headless Chicken.So out with the girlfriend one day I stumbled on a Mate fishing the River around 2005 -2006.And then that’s when my Crusade on the Rivers Started.It took me tho 3 to 4 years to crack the Code of the River but when I did crack it it all fell into place.Now I am confident everytime I fish the Thames and its accessible anytime of day For some of the Best fighting and Looking carp in the Country.

Don’t be afraid of just walking the banks searching for those river gems.Alot of the time I will spend all day just walking and checking spots up and down the River.Like this beauty here.I was doing the usual and walking the Thames when all of a sudden as I peeped through the bushes 2 big Carp Cruising this same little area.I watched them for about 20 minutes and they were staying put,So I trickled a bit of bait in and was like (Oh yes we gonna have something now I can feel it.So just out of sight I hooked up one rod with a Tutti Frutti snowman and waited for them to swim off the spot and gently lowered it on the baited area.I don’t not take them long to come back and I sat waiting for that run but after 20 minutes I knew I had to just sit my arse down and just relax and wait.So I hooked the chair up sat back and Shut my eyes.Sure enough a hour later we are in.I caught the smaller of the Two even tho the other Carp did carry on feeding I just could not get a bite from it :(.
