Born somewhere below the North pole during the love & peace era of the mid-sixties. Originally brought up by pack wolves before being released back into the wild at the age of seven to bring sanity back into a mad world; unfortunately he failed. An over indulgent personality with weaknesses for wine, women and song – despite a complete inability to master any of them – he took solace in fishing. His first love though is music, blessed with the voice of an angel and a guitar playing style to make Eric Clapton’s ‘axe’ gently weep; according to his delusional psychotherapists report anyway. He fishes to escape reality, but only when he can’t afford the alcohol or is trying to escape a jealous husband or dysfunctional girlfriend. He loves all things predatory, probably due to the canine upbringing; catfish, pike, zander and perch are his main foe but he gets outsmarted at each and every opportunity. Fortunately, ‘stupid’ carp seem to throw themselves at his feet, he doesn’t know why but has embarked on a mission to explain all. His greatest achievement was to attain a blue at Oxford. Despite missing the pink he went on to win the frame. A bounder and a cad of the most despicable kind. I urge you to disregard any pearls of wisdom he may throw your way, it’s not worth the risk! If this man were an Arab he would be called “No hands” Read on at your own risk!!!
