Carp Academy
Oli is as well known for his carp-catching exploits as he is for his famous dreadlocks! He's based in Colchester and has caught many sought-after carp from his home county and further afield in Cambridgeshire. He's tackled intimate venues and huge, East Anglian pits. One such venue, a 100-acre Cambs pit, produced his current PB - a 46lb common called Humpy.
Oli loves fishing chods over a good spread of boilies, prioritising fish location and then deploying his favourite tactics to great effect. He's a working man, and gets relatively little time to fish, so his results are all the more impressive!
