ETIENNE GEBEL
Age: 35 PB: 62lb Common (Germany)
A very well-respected carp angler in Germany, Etienne Gebel has been fishing for carp since 1985 and still has an amazing love for this creature. He's a versatile angler. One day he will be targeting carp on the colossal River Rhine, using big boilie tactics to deter the many bream and crayfish, while another day he may be stalking on intimate estate lakes right in the margins.
Etienne loves to experiment with carp food having rolled his own boilies for years. Using many hundreds of kilos through the year, he has even bought dedicated machines to mass produce them.
One of his main passions is to fish in the gin clear pits situated near to his home. He believes that this has made him a better angler - camouflaging rigs, systems and even his body.
Through experience Etienne has developed amazing watercraft and believes that this is what stands him out from the crowd!
