A year or two go someone referred to me as ‘Old Skool.’

To be honest they were probably right. I’m not sure that I am actually old enough to be genuinely Old Skool, but I think the way I fish, the environments I want to create at the lakes, the bait we produce and even the way I grow carp is, lets say, traditional.

For me a lot of the essence of carp fishing has been lost in recent years and it is something I am always trying to preserve at my lakes. What does that mean? In reality it means I want our lakes, the fish and the environment in general to be as natural as possible. Wild banks, comfortable but natural swims, beautifully shaped carp; just that real feeling of a ‘proper’ carp lake, somewhere that excites you and that isn’t to clinical, like it used to be.

When it comes to bait and the boilie we produce at King these principles remain the same. It is easy to create a bait that catches, what is a lot harder is to create a bait that catches consistently and by that I mean season after season. That is only possible if the bait is perfect and the fish get everything they need from it. When the bait is balanced perfectly and the nutrition level is spot on they will instantly accept it as a food source and will continue to eat it indefinitely. As a fishery owner I need house baits that offer my stock the perfect diet, I want them growing and I want them healthy, that is why I started King, producing boilie for my own lakes as well as numerous anglers and fisheries across Europe that understand all the benefits of the perfect boilie.
