Alex’s angling life started in the more traditional way of fishing for whatever came along as a youngster. In time his appetite increased to fish for more varied species throughout his local Nene valley region until the carp bug really took hold of him some 20-odd years ago. Since then he has enjoyed a prolific angling career that has seen him contribute to many of the leading angling publications, catching some fabulous specimens from all over the UK along the way. Having fished the “circuit” waters for many years he now much prefers the peace and tranquility of the quieter “off the beaten track” type waters with a little mystery.
