My first fishing experience was in the summer of 1995 at age 14. Fishing the local free stretches and a small lake, catching some nice fish along the way. Then I moved to Bournemouth town centre when I was 18, after getting a job in the hotel trade with cheap live-in accommodation, the beach, great nightlife and all that goes with it on my doorstep. Although I did still wet a line from time to time, fishing became less of an interest! It was not until a move to a market town in the summer of 2004 that my passion returned, which has led me on to where I am today…
