This week the podcast welcomes big carp angler, talented artist, videographer and all round "ultra carpy" Jake "The Heron" Hughes.

One look at Jakes incredible catalogue of special carp captures on his Instagram will leave you dribbling, in this podcast he finally opens up about his angling. Jake talks about his difficult up bringing and how carp fishing was and has always been a place of solace.

Jake recalls incredible captures from places such as Frogmore, The Res, The Lea Valley as well as a 60 acre low stock pit. In each of these chapters he manages to apply his combination of single minded commitment and passion to reaps some jaw dropping rewards. 

Jake also talks about his art, from illustrating Kevin Nash's book to his own commission artwork and now becoming a videographer for Sticky Baits. He is a man with an incredible amount of talent and very much lives in the present with his angling and lifestyle choices.


Jake is not a man that's interested in following the traditional beaten path in terms of life or carp fishing as you will see. If you like something a little different in terms of your carp fishing podcast, check out an insight into one talented and humble bloke.
