Occupation: Locksmith   

Interests:  Fishing, weight training and music

Most memorable capture:  my 1st 30lb common from Averly lakes Essex when I was 17 fifteen years ago that was a good fish.

Personal best:  58lb 04oz the Annie, also had Black Eye at 54lb in 2009. My French pb is a 58lb 02oz common and 54lb 08 oz mirror.

Sponsors Are Atomic Tackle and Tails up Baits.

 Despite working 50 hrs a week and having 3 kids under10 and a wife its proof that the average man can still catch large English carp on limited time if you use the rite tools for the job!

Why Tails Up:  Tails Up offer the angler with a reliable and excellent customer sevice. If you want personalised bait then just ask Ash and he will put together a bait designed for you and trust me he will do a good job! I asked him to put a bait together for me and not long after the Annie was in the net!
