About Frank

Since a small child I have been crazy about fishing. Like probably most of us, I also started with a simple rod with a float for yes… basically anything interested in my bait. After my father gave me a video tape about carp fishing at the time, I was immediately hooked. The next day I went straight to the fishing store to buy the necessary equipment that I then thought I would need. After catching a carp for the first time in my life, I was immediately hooked. At the moment I am lucky enough to live in the middle of the country, which means that I have a large number of water types at my disposal. From rivers to canals, large lakes or park waters. Basically everything can be found here within a stone's throw. As a result, my fishing is also quite varied and I can do what I feel like at that moment.

If I had to choose I would probably choose the larger lakes and the canals. Short sessions on the canal are ideal for weekdays and on weekends I prefer the larger waters where I can fish from a boat when I have more time.

BEST PIECE OF ANGLING ADVICE:

Don't focus too much on previous sessions, every session is different. Keep your eyes open and don't be afraid to try something different to solve the puzzle.
