Revolution Baits

Location: Doncaster

Sponsors: Revolution Baits/ TN floats/ Pole Nose Bungs.

Favourite style: I have started to venture further a field, so I'm doing a lot more natural water fishing which I'm really enjoying at the moment.

Plans for the future: I will keep competing in the major competitions we have in the UK but I'm determined to make a major final after a couple of close shaves. I'm very passionate about helping bring young anglers into the sport as they are the future.

Favourite product: By far my favourite products are the G.G.Green and the skimmer bream dark. I have spent a lot of time testing and playing about with the ground baits but mixing them 50/50 has been fantastic for me in recent qualifiers.

My match fishing started when I was around 4 with my dad running a local club junior matches. He didn’t have enough fishing, so I got roped in and took the win! From there I never looked back. I joined Farnborough juniors when I was around 12 and fished with them right through my teenage years competing in junior nationals around the country and winning a nice selection of team and individual medals. I started competing in ladies nationals at 14 and qualified for Ladies Fish O Mania twice! I also managed to win the Ladies National in 2020 which is one of my favourite achievements.

I was selected to fish for the England ladies team in 2018 and have so far competed in two world championships and was lucky enough to win a bronze team medal with the time in South Africa 2019!

Team Future Fishing Match Squad (Captain)

Location: Lincoln

Favourite Venues: Mostly natural venues like the River Trent, as I just love big rivers as you never know what you’ll catch. I also like drains, canals, lakes, big open waters and the bigger commercial waters fishing for carp and skimmers.

Personally I love to coach and help others in their own fishing,which is why I set my own YouTube channel up nearly two years ago. At the end of the day fishing is fishing and so long as you enjoy whatever style of fishing you’re doing. Keep doing it.

Location: Chesterfield/Worksop

Occupation: DIY Stock coordinator/Angling Coach

Favourite Venues: Aston Park Fishery, Southfield Res and Damflask Res.

Favourite Angling Style: Definitely long range feeder and anything else feeder related.

Achievements: Plenty match wins and frames as a junior amongst many more club match wins, trophy events and memorials as I held onto the sport more. Since then I’ve taken plenty more match wins on sponsored leagues and where the top spot has been vacant I’ve snook the top 3 or section. Qualified L1 angling coach but besides wanting to teach the world I’ve taken on the role as Coach to my 2 step kids George and Leo who have certainly made an impact with their angling. Anything from Canal to Commercial, natural to river, they’ve both taken to angling like a duck to water. Leo is new to the sport but is really picking up his skill set. He’s now match ready and looking forward to some great competition. George needs no introduction but he’s already developed an impressive match CV and I couldn’t be prouder of them both.

Ambitions: To qualify for a big feeder final and ideally finish high in any I can whilst regularly fishing local opens on naturals and commercials. As for the boys there’s still lots more work to do and accomplish but I aim to have them both on a world stage in no time at all. I’ve always told them if angling is what they want then the world is their oyster. Really pleased to be a part of Revolution Baits and very very confident with the range of baits available. The whole range suits all aspects of my angling and means I have everything I need in one place.

Location: Doncaster
Favourite venues: rivers and canals
Favourite style of fishing: pole and feeder
About my fishing: until recently i’d of classed myself as a pleasure fisherman but in the last few months I have made the jump to match fishing on the natural venue circuit where I have managed to pick up a couple of section wins. I fished club matches as a junior into my late teens and was young angler of the year on 2 occasions. 2023 will see me involved in a number of matches, leagues, festivals and big event qualifiers which I’m really looking forward to.
I am excited at the opportunity of being an ambassador for revolution baits and sharing my journey with them.
Plans for the future: Discover and understand my strengths and weaknesses as a match angler and maximise them to do my best to qualify for as many major events as possible.
