		I started fishing at the early age of 5, encouraged by my mother, I fished the river mole with a length of cane with fishing line tied to it, down to a matchstick as a make shift float , my hook was a pin carefully bent into a hook shape. From those early days on the mole I progressed through the years until I started fishing for Apollo match group. Over the next 13years the team gained sponsorship with Dick Clegg Products, the Italian tackle manufacturer Colmic, & then to when the team finally dispanded  in 2007, they were sponsored by French tackle manufacturer Garbolino. At the end of those great years I decided to put something back into my favourite sport & I decided to become an NFA coach. My qualifications consist of:     NVQ Level 2 1st 4 sport qualification for Angling.                                                Level 1 first aid certificate.                                                Attended a child awareness course.                                                 I am also fully CRB checked.
