Garry is a long term CCG member and a former winner of the Catfish Angler of the Year. He has an enviable list of big catfish to his name and fishes many UK venues.
Garry turned to catfish after many years of carp fishing and now prefers livebaiting to most other methods although will happily break out the pellets if he thinks it will buy him an extra run or two.
Despite losing a large amount of his gear to thieves, Garry has re-assembled his catfishing gear and his preferred equipment for UK fishing (he rarely fishes abroad) is listed here.
