About Me

The vast majority of my fishing has been done in the SE of England, though I do venture further afield when the opportunity presents itself. More and more of it seems to revolve around commercial fisheries nowdays, though my first love is to run a stick float down a nice stretch of river. The last few years have seen me fishing various matches with my club Marsh AC as well as those organised through the website, Maggotdrowning.com and Malc Doyle's Jinx Series . If you enjoy reading my blog, or find it useful please feel free to leave a comment in my Guestbook.
