I am 38 years old, I have been fishing since the age of 10 and (almost) exclusively for Carp for the past 22 years. The majority of my fishing has been done in and around the Lea Valley in Herts/Essex. At the start of the year I decided to have one last go at irresponsibility and moved abroad in May 2011, having committed to a (minimum) 5 year term serving as the full-time Bailiff at the Abbeylakes Complex in northern France!
