Well after match fishing for 6 years. i had a change of heart. so after hanging up the match boots i set out in my task to catch some bigger fishing. 5 years later hear we are.. with carp to over 40 lbs and barbel to over 14 lbs under my belt. i can say i made the right choice in my aim to catch bigger fish. i fish many water's around the UK and France but my main love is river's. the derby shire derwent is right on my door step so a lot of my time is spent on their trying to catch barbel and chub.. but these past few years i have also been fishing the river dove and river Trent a little more just for a change and for the chance of getting a bigger fish out..... i don't mess about i land some pretty big fish and these past few years i have made a name for me self on being a top barbel and carp angler. i have helped many people in their quest on catching bigger fishing.. and i hope to involved more people this year. not only that i am hoping to set up a derby barbel catcher's club..

thanks for taking the time in reading this i hope to hear from you soon..... Christoper Martin.
