Paul is an incredible carp catching machine who has caught fish from pre hair rig days in the 1980's on North West cult waters such as Smiths Reservoir and King Georges through to modern day captures of 50lb & 60lb carp from Grenvilles and RK Leisures K1. In between this time he has successful torn apart places such as Elstow, St Ives, Darenth and the Linch Hill complex apart.
