Describe yourself as an angler:Started Fishing at the age of 4 on the Bridgewater canal Runcorn with my dad catching perch and bream and now love sharing the bank with my kids and family.   I Post a weekly Fishing Vlog on YouTube, Dannys Angling Blog, and have posted a weekly update every Friday at 6pm for a number of years.  An all-round angler happy on a local pond as I am on a river catching anything from Dace, roach and crucian carp to Pike, Barbel, Chub and Carp.

Love helping out anglers and passing on any tips so feel free to drop me a PM or tag me in any questions on Hinders social media and I will do my best to reply and help. 

Favourite Venue:River Ribble

Favourite Species:Dace and Chub

Favourite Method/Approach:Stick Float

Favourite Hinders Bait:Chinese Hemp – I have used hemp all my angling career but the consistent quality of Hinders hemp is unmatched.  This hemp forms a basis of all my fishing from Dace to Barbel and Carp.

Most memorable session:Catching 70lb of Dace on the stick float this winter. The river was perfect condition a lad bit of water on but flat calm and perfect for dotting a float right down.  Late February the Dace where in excellent condition and shoaled up and responded well to heavy baiting using hinders Hemp and Supercharged Black Ground bait. 

Target for the next 12months:Continue to enjoy my fishing and share it online on YouTube
