Love him or hate him he has certainly reached the pinnacle of carp angling. I actually thought the podcast was very good. Does anyone on here know him or have fished with him.?

Cant say I know him or have fished with him but I follow him on Instagram and have messaged back and forth with him a few times and he is always such a genuine guy and is always happy to help, seems very much one of those salt of the earth, this is who I am and I don't put on a front for anyone, sort of a guy. I wish there were a lot more people in this world like that as you always know where you are with this sort of person.
I agree the podcast is great, I like his no BS approach and says it how it is. I was always surprised that he wasn't on Nash Baits boilies but chose to use ACP baits as his sponsor instead. I see that last week he announced that he's stopped with ACP and is looking for a new bait sponsor. Will be interesting to see who he ends up being sponsored by.

I thought he was sponsored by Nash for tackle , perhaps he will go with them for bait also.

That's what confused me, he does use the Nash prepared particles and a lot of the tackle just not the boilies which I always found strange.

I have a similar view of him, don't agree with all his views but definitely respect how he's honest about who he is and despite being sponsored doesn't try to pitch everything as the greatest. Also quite enjoy how he gives Elliot grief on Cypography.

To be fair, he's still with many of them, I think he likes certain items from certain manufacturers and wants to use those items so they sponsor him, such as leads, tackle, bait etc. I mean wouldn't you if you could? lol

He's been with a fair few bait companies over the years, yet no matter what he s on he still does well.

At the minute. He certainly went off the rails a few years back, which I think he has openly admited. He had a new sponsor every week, untill it was only the literal garbage brands left.
I dint blame him for not wanting to use nash baits though, they certainly aren't what they used to be.

I have seen a lot of his pictures elsewhere, the man has captured some of the finest carp in the country, target fish, after target fish, after target fish and that's the difference, up there with the modern greats for me. One of the most successful carp anglers over the last 3 or 4 decades in this country. Say what you like, carp catcher!!!

Some years ago now Andy, he upset a few when he had a pallet of boilies delivered direct to Linch Hill and proceeded to lump it in which must be 20 or more years ago now this was just after I dropped the ticket having done a couple of seasons on Stoneacre, my memories for dates is getting worse but was early 00's
