I am proud to be part of the Mistral team and very excited about the top quality bait they produce. This has helped me catch lots of good carp over the past 2 years.

I started carp fishing by accident while tench fishing the local canal in Milton Keynes. I caught a 10lb Mirror carp on sweet corn one Saturday night on 4lb line, from then on I was hooked.

I then learnt my carp skills fishing around the Milton Keynes area on the canal and several different lakes catching carp on a regular basis. I have now been carp fishing for 27 years.

I have fished Great Linford Lakes on and off since 1995; this was at the start of the debenture scheme and i’m still a member to this day. I have caught almost every carp out of Linford 1 lake over this time and I’m very lucky to have one of the big carp named after me (Malcolm’s).

I now live in Northampton and am fishing some of the lakes in the area looking for an unknown lump!

In 2009 I fished St Ives Lagoon looking to catch The Fat Lady, on my 21st night at 1845 she grace my net at a massive weight of 55.04. The i40 help me with a very successful campaign (Please see The Fat Lady article).

This year 2010 saw me fishing the Woolpack complex after a 50lb common (Paddle) however in June saw the complex lost her and 2 more of the biggest fish due to natural causes.

So 2011, watch this space.
