Paul Venables
Many congratulations Paul – one of a large number of entries – and one of the relatively few entrants who got the last of the three questions correct!
Paul tells us that:
“I have been fishing since I was five years old; I began as a pleasure angler, guided by my older brother, and was hooked from then on. I progressed later on into specimen hunting for tench, bream and barbel and then into carp fishing.
I have caught and landed a lot of tench, my personal best being 9lb 4oz, I’ve had bream over 6lb, carp over 30lb and my biggest barbel are 12lb 8oz and 13lb 6oz, caught close to where I live on the Great Ouse in north Bedfordshire.
I have been to India before but only as a traveller and was able to fish a little of the coast in Goa. My only fishing adventure trip abroad was to Ireland for a two week fishing trip around 16 years ago. It has always been a dream lodged at the back of my mind to have the opportunity to visit India with fishing tackle and fish for mahseer, so thank you very much FM and Mahseer Sports and Adventures!”
We hope Paul will furnish us with a few words and pictures from his trip in due course.
