I started carp fishing in the late 90s whilst serving in the Army, fishing mainly the military lakes and the lakes around Colchester. When I left the Army in 2005, I moved to France to bailiff the Etang de la Croix Blanche. Now I have a family and a very busy business so for the last few years I’ve been fishing locally on the big gravel pits around the Lee Valley country parks, having caught several of the valley’s big carp. I really get my buzz from target fishing big English fish.
