When it comes to fishing, I was a latecomer. Coming from a motorsport background from an early age, be it competing, mechanicing or instructing, fishing was never something I thought I’d ever do, let alone love.
After meeting my fiancé whilst racing, he suggested going fishing to try to balance the stress of a weekend’s racing. I took some convincing, thinking I’d be bored and the thought of spending nights in the outdoors with spiders, was somewhat of a turn-off. It only took one session for me to fall in love and when the budget for racing became unachievable, fishing took over…and here we are, fishing whenever we can and even entering matches to allow an outlet for my competitiveness!
