Over the years I have done quite a bit of T.V. work most recently with John Wilson and Chris Tarrant in Florida fishing for tarpon and sharks. This is being shown regularly on DHL.
I also did a programme with Kevin Green for the series on Predators fishing for tope and smoothounds on Discovery Home and Leisure and a programme with John Wilson also fishing for tope. Both of these programmes are regularly aired on Discovery H&L and Anglia.
Previously I have done two other programmes with John Wilson out from Bradwell fishing for tope, bass, smoothounds and skate. I also appeared on Channel 4's Screaming Reels with Nick Fisher and Sky's Tight Lines with Keith Arthur and Bruno Brooks.
Coming from Southend originally, I caught my first fish, a flounder, off Southend Pier at the age of four and now over fifty years later I am still as keen.
I have spent a lot of time on all branches of fishing - boat, beach, fly, carp, pike, rivers, big game and salt water fly. I have written extensively for the angling press for over twenty five years in both the monthly mags and the weekly papers.
I have also had seven years in the fishing tackle business and two five year spells as consultant for major tackle companies.. I am currently sponsored by American tackle giants PENN Shakesphere and my boats both here and in America are fully equipped with all their latest tackle.
Also in 1995 with wife Carole, we started the Florida Keys Fishing Holidays in Islamorada. This is now for sale to anyone interested, to be taken over after our 2013 spring trip. Call me if you are interested!
