My Story
Paul first started match fishing as a junior before progressing into the team fishing scene, eventually representing Daiwa Dorking. After several years competing in team events, he decided to focus on fishing for himself, targeting major festivals and big individual competitions across the country. Over the years he has built an impressive record on commercial venues and is particularly well known for his success at the prestigious Whiteacres festivals.
Away from the bank, Paul has also built a strong presence in the sport through his successful online platform Match Focus, where he shares insights, match footage and coaching content with anglers looking to improve their own fishing. Being part of the Fishub Premier League is something he feels honoured to be involved in, and he hopes the league will help push match fishing further towards a more professional direction within the sport.
