Anglers

Dai has been fishing for over 40 years and for the last 30 years has targeted big fish of most species. He's considered one of the best big tench and bream anglers in the business but is just as at home on rivers and canals fishing for any species. Dai is always on the hunt for new waters that may contain big fish, and his ability to research venues with big fish potential has stood him in good stead throughout his angling journey.

If you want advice about targeting pressured venues, Chris is the man to speak to. Although hes fished a whole host of tricky venues across the UK, he now spends most of his time on the Linear Fisheries complex.

My angling started near on 40 years ago on my local River Stour, freelining a bit of bacon down the river that I'd pinched out of my mum's fridge. The trick was to bounce the bait over a paving slab that had been chucked in, to where you could guarantee a hungry Eel would come out from underneath and take the bait.

Lee has been fishing for as long as he can remember. Match fishing was where it all started and that certainly shows with his approach to Carp fishing.

I class myself as a very fortunate angler as I have been brought up in a fishing family, my father and my grandfather were all fanatical anglers and this meant that my earliest memories all revolve around fishing.

Ed Matthews is one of predator fishing's brightest young stars, catching numerous big pike, perch, zander and eels in recent times. He's also a renowned big carp specialist and general all-round angler. With such an impressive big fish list at such a young age, he's one of the most exciting specimen hunters around.

My angling journey started out on my local river fishing for anything that came along, though my thirst for knowledge meant that I devoured any reading that came my way and I was inspired greatly by the writings of Tony Miles and also by John Wilson's Go Fishing program, the seeds of an all-rounder were set.
