"Everything's got to start somewhere"

This is my debut post to what hopefully is a prolonged blog giving you an insight into my Carp fishing life.

About me  

I started float fishing before the age of 10 - mainly on the abundance of canals and reservoirs near my home. Rudyard Reservoir was a familiar place for me to wet a line, targeting anything that swam pretty much. 

Fast forward to the age of 12. I began to fish Cheshire Emergency services fishing matches for kids basically, where I met the angler who has pretty much showed me all I know to this date. A guy called Andy Cooper who also happens to be a Nutrabaits sponsored angler.

After catching my first Carp shortly after, and having friends who shared the same interest I began to try targeting them over the now smaller species in the waters I fished.

 I caught my first 20lb Mirror during my last years at secondary school. The summer holidays after finishing exams had a massive impact on the time I could actually get on the bank. 

Age 19, I have probably been solely Carp fishing for about 7 years now...enjoying everything about it.
