Gardner’s International Angling Team
Complètement autodidacte dans ma pêche depuis l’âge de 11 ans car je n’ai jamais eu la chance d’avoir une personne pour m’y emmener. C’est à 15 ans que je commence à me consacrer uniquement à la pêche de la carpe et je me passionne très rapidement à la pêche de longue distance. J’affectionne aussi [...]
J’ai commencé à pratiquer la pêche de la carpe depuis l’été 1990 mais je viens de la pêche au coup que j’ai commencé vers 6 ans ainsi que la traque du brochet au mort manié. A l’heure actuelle, je traque essentiellement la carpe. Tout mon temps libre fut accaparer par la pêche de [...]
J’ai longtemps pêché les eaux de ma region et uniquement de jours, préférant une pêche très active. Que ce soit dans une gravière de 50 hectares ou une petite “flaque” d’eau, un petit ruisseau ou un très gros canal, peu importe du moment qu’il y avait de l’eau et des écailles à prendre. [...]
Hi, my name is Niels De Temmerman and I’m 32 years old. I started pole fishing around age of 12/13. After practicing this type of angling for a few years, I can still remember catching a 22lb common on the pole. Amazed as a young kid by the power of these creatures, I started [...]
I started fishing as a young lad on a local venue close to home. As you can imagine, at this time my kit was very basic, but I couldn’t care less. I just wanted to be outdoors and enjoy every second out on the bank. A few years past until I met [...]
I’m a carp angler in a town called San Adrián (Navarra). Since I was very young, accompanied by my father, I was taught love for nature and respect for all living beings. I started fishing carp at a very early age. Year after year, whilst meeting great people and friends, I have learned a [...]
Als kleine jongen knul kwam natuurlijk ook het vissen bij mij binnen gedrongen, het park water in buurt is dan ook het gene waar ik veel tijd door bracht weekende vakanties of na school het was altijd vissen wat ik deed en wil. Toen ik wat ouder werd gingen we natuurlijk wat verder van [...]
During my 27 years as an angler I have had the pleasure of practising various fishing methods; spinning, fly fishing, Surfcasting, Game fishing. I have also been able to catch large tuna and predators in Spanish coastal waters. I have visited glorious and wild places, like the Amazon river, getting many great catches and [...]
I come from a fishing family, my dad, my uncle, my brother, etc. are all angling fanatics. So I often found myself accompanying them on their fishing trips and eventually I caught the angling bug. My fascination with carp angling occured whilst watching a carp angler on the bank. I was completely enthralled by [...]
I have been interested in fishing since childhood. I came to angling in a very traditional way. First I went along with a friend and found that I really enjoyed it and I have been faithful to this fascinating hobby ever since. I have specialised on carp since 1992 and I have tried many [...]
I was in a pram when my father first took me fishing and since then my interest in angling has never abated. After 8 years I got my first rod and since we own a private stretch of river, I fished there all the time. This fascination with carp fishing has never left me [...]
At the age of 8 I watched my Grandad catch an eel with a fishing rod. I was so fascinated by this that the life-saving hobby of my ancestors flared up in me and I knew that I wanted to be an angler. Over the past 29 years together with a lot of [...]
My name is Jurgen Vandenstorme and I work as an independent baker. As a youngster I started fishing for roach and then switching to bigger coarse species such as bream. Several years later I became interested in carp fishing, which soon became very addictive. My favourite fishing venues are rivers and canals, which I [...]
I started on my quest to catch carp at the age of 14, many moons ago and I still love it as much as I did then. I have fished on small lakes, big lakes, rivers and canals in Belgium, France and Holland. But to be honest, I favour fishing on my home soil [...]

I have fished since I was a child, but my passion for carp fishing was born about 10 years ago. Now every year I spend around 120 nights fishing for carp. The fishing technique that I prefer is definitely searching for large fish from the boat in large natural lakes. I regularly compete, over [...]
I love the large natural lakes and I like to spend a couple of nights a week on them. It’s difficult to quantify how many nights a year I fish, maybe 50-60, however this depends on factors such as work and my family. I fish all year round, from spring right through the winter. [...]

My first memories of fishing were back in the 80's, what's funny, is the fact that I didn't have a dad or any family member who took me fishing, in fact I am the only member in my whole family who fishes... That is why my dad asks my mum every day where I [...]
