Quote or adecdote: After 28 years in the military as a Fire Fighter operating around the world, I returned home to Cornwall and I needed a new challenge to focus on. I've made a lot of mistakes on the way but I'm thoroughly enjoying the fishing so far and I still have a huge amount to learn.
My aim is to fish as sustainably as possible with a keen eye on protecting and preserving the sea and its wildlife.
