Name:Martyn Davies

Lives in:Cotswolds Water Park

Occupation:Technology – Group Procurement

Angling Category:Carp Angler 

Describe yourself as an angler:I have been fishing for at least 25 years, if not longer. Starting off at a local park lake attempting to catch anything that swims to now focusing on any Carp that swims. Most of my fishing revolves around a busy work, home, family life and if I get a 48hrs I feel extremely lucky! I like to keep my fishing varied with visiting new venues as it keeps me working at my fishing and every lake offers a new challenge. I enjoy the varied content it allows me to produce for my YT channel as there are so many waters to explore up and down the country such as park lakes, exclusive bookings, reservoirs and day tickets. No venue is off limits! It keeps me motivated to get out there, explore and to try and catch wherever I go.

Favourite Venue:Woodside Lakes

Favourite Species:Carp, Carp and more Carp

Favourite Method/Approach:Solid Bags

Favourite Hinders Bait:Mini Combo Mix perfect for my favourite tactics!
