Unless someone is known personally, opinions are formed by someone putting themselves out there via social media or you tube.

Well after flicking through a couple of his you tube videos I can honestly say hes the sort of mockney cockney that I would steer well clear of.

I actually quite like him and his videos, he does seem to attract to much attention about certain waters he's on but as a angler and a blogger, I think he's quite good. Plus I love a bit of devlin

I also find his videos entertaining. I don't really like the music, but it's different and the videos are in his own style. I think it shows the diversity in carp fishing you have the traditional with the likes of Chris Yates, the carpy gang with scenic shots of kettles and only fishing for proper ones, to commercial Korda or Fox sponsored anglers covered in goo, spombing 10kilos for fun and bagging 10 20's in a session, to him doing what he wants to do how he wants to do it. Everyone has a different outlook on life and what they want from their fishing and at the end of the day if he enjoys it I think good for him.

Very well said mate. I completely agree.

I enjoy watching his videos, certainly a bit different from the rest. I'm not into Grime music but after listening to some of his stuff it's 'sort of' growing on me a bit! lol



all this inner city gangsta grime music really has no place in fishing.

I'm not really sure what this comment means though! lol

Should it all be classical, Pop, Rock, RnB, Jazz, Soul, harmonica, banjo.............?

I was thinking it should be appropriate to a gentlemanly pursuit. Slayer for example.

The thing that does me in with these videos, a lot of the time, filming and pictures are held back to help prevent their own angling getting destroyed, yet the second it's all over, it's thrown on the web, and well, everyone else's fishing gets ruined instead. Had it happen when the north met started getting heavily publicised, to a point on Fridays I couldn't get a swim on a 60 acre water. That basically ended a bit of fishing I was actually enjoying. I think it's just a respect thing, but that respect should go both ways, I've met Greg fishing around the valley, seemed like a sound bloke, obviously a good angler, but vandalising his motor isn't the way to go thinking it's a way to scare him off, or stop videos. I'm sure if people went round and earnt each other's respect these videos and pictures may well get put on hold untill after ticket deadlines, or for the following year? I don't know, I try and keep myself to myself as much as possibly so I'm only assuming. It's a shame none the less. It has turned into a very very selfish pursuit, from almost every perspective, it doesn't surprise me that more and more clubs and syndicates are going non publicity to keep the peace.
