Age: 40

Location: Essex

PB: 43lb 8oz (UK PB)

Intro...

Rob’s connection to angling began early in life, influenced by his dad and brothers who shared a deep passion for angling. Although he often accompanied them as a child, his real passion for the sport emerged later.
 
Over the past ten years, Rob has dedicated himself to carp fishing, taking full advantage of Essex’s renowned lakes. He fondly recalls his experiences at Honeypots, just outside Stock, where his skills and confidence truly developed. Through persistence and practice, Rob has become adept at seeking out prize catches in every lake he has visited.
 
During the pandemic, Rob spent considerable time at Boytons, where he netted Six Pac at 39lb, and at Watsons, landing the impressive big mirror at 42lb alongside several members of the A Team. Recently, his focus has shifted to Berners Hall, where he has enjoyed landing many a chunk!
 
Outside of fishing, Rob enjoys exploring Europe in his campervan with his wife, creating new memories on and off the water. Professionally, Rob serves as a mental health commissioner in Essex, actively promoting the positive effects fishing can have on wellbeing. For him, angling is about much more than catching fish—it’s about immersing oneself in nature, forging lasting friendships, and collecting meaningful experiences and memories.
 
Since Glenn Knight took the helm as CEO of DT Bait Development, Rob has played a role in supporting the company’s growth. He has helped lead the sponsorship team  whilst building a strong social media presence, driving the business forward as it enters an exciting new chapter.
