Anglers Profile

Hey All! :D
Hope you buzzing anglers are nailing these odd seasons god has given us or to be fair what man has molded out of the earth system, I am very sorry I have not updated the blog for a while but Anglers Profile needed some TLC to keep you guys happy, I wanted to touch on the Carp angling Championships, now I always big these tournaments up to the max and Anglers Profile Supports it 100%, we list all event dates etc. but what's so special about the BYCAC (British Young Carp Angling Championship) BCAC (British Carp Angling Championship) & the newest of them all the CCUK (Carp Cup UK) ????????????????????????????????????????????

Well they can take you to big places if you win and not only that but you can gain a lot of money from them and most of all knowledge whether you win or lose, I am now 18 and feeling 80 with all of the carp market stress (wouldn’t change it for the world) but I have been doing the bycac for 3 years until this year as I am too old for the young ones comp but it really give me a wakeup call in carp fishing as in my round was rob Sutton, brad day, and some other good lads, and boy did they kick my sorry ass :( lol there was me thinking ha! I’m welsh you plonkers we are the hard fishermen, maybe physical but heck the are good mentally at carping, and to picture a glorious day at Brasenose 1 at linear fisheries, me and my father pull up unload the car and not to mention my mate Adam Morris who come along to see the action, I set up and I’m ready thinking yes! Ready before everyone else "what are those mugs doing playing with their lines walking there spods up and down? The guns going to go now you fool" those mugs, fools, twit won the eliminators and after the first one I realized how badly I sucked at carp fishing.
So as any good angler would do is move on and realize they need to train big time, no matter what the lake is and where it is just fish, really there is no difference between fish brains, it fries my brain when anglers are like "aww no I have to fish Trevor’s lake cause it has 50's in it...get a grip you cannot even catch a 20lb" it really does take time and effort to get better at carping and yes some anglers are lucky but at the end of the day getting the knowledge is the key to success and hitting tournaments like the ones above is the way forward.
If you are a father and can see your son loves carp fishing and is age 10+ then pay the £30 for him/her to go to oxford and learn more and come away with £140 worth of tackle...yes that right £140 worth that worth it in its own, really you cannot go wrong and if your son/daughter wins then whoop! They have bagged themselves a carp fishing career: p cool or what!?
If you are older like me and really want that fishing career and your fighting to get it whether you make your own way like myself or just do competitions or do both like me you cannot go far wrong than entering the BCAC or the CCUK as these cups are mega money, mega sponsors, mega angling, you don’t just fish against your own blood in the sport but compete against the stars from Korda, Fox, Nash, Carp Talk, Crafty Carper etc. so practice is needed...this month July coming next I am in the CCUK for Team AP and Simon and Mike have just passed the BCAC qualifier for their round and Aaron sluman is doing the BYCAC so hopeful we will get 3/3 atm we have 1/3 fingers crossed :D

Well enough about championships and I am very tired now as I have been working my socks off for you guys, and so I should: D love life and live it for a good time not a long time :)

Hey all sorry the daily blog slowed down I guess the death of Roy knocked me off my feet :/ but that’s life and team AP is back full steam ahead, so today I have just posted  30 DVD's so look out for yours, if it doesn’t come then please let us know like Big Boy Chris did ;) keep it cool Chris.

So I’ve got to get fishing soon on the banks myself and with fairbrass at wellington syndicate, just waiting on his reply for when to go but that should a laugh showing him how to really fish...welsh style ;) hehe

We are encouraging female members to join as we know this is vital to keep the community going strong as where would man be without female...a lot richer but we love them so if you know of any female anglers nag them to join the site!

So from the team Froggy is working out the new competitions for the next couple of weeks, I have got hold of nash bait £30 worth, gardener tackle £50 worth, Thermal Flask Mugs, Wychwood Hats, DVD's etc. so watch the forum.

Going onto the forum I have noticed it has come alive! keep it going guys but remember we are not a forum we are a social network so this network is 10x stronger than any other, we are running on the same platform as facebook but under different ownership, Anglers Profile cost money to run and so far we have spent £7000 so please do not think this is something we get for free, we offer it for free as we love fishing, we make no money :)

This really was a show not to miss end off.
Haha but really it was amazing to be able to get into a conversation with legend such as Rod Hutchinson, Terry Hearn, Julian Cundiff, Tim Paisley, while being able to talk to stars such as Ali hamidi, Simon Crow, Bill Cottam, all fantastic anglers, The show started off by giving out free magazines, Dvd's, tickets to carpin'on Show, meeting the anglers having a drink and getting some books signed!

Being Anglers Profile we bought every book >< and got them all signed except Terry's DVD, but we had a good chat with all the anglers and gained support of them all for our upcoming shows to come this year and next year, trakker was on hand showing off their new bivvy and handing out some freebies, Naturebaits and rolling baits where showing off their products and services, It was all very relaxed, at 7pm the Q&A began with the panel Simon Crow, Ali Hamidi, Julian Cundiff, Rod Hutchinson, and Tim Paisley with the microphone asking the questions as usual, Some tricky ones and good ones where asked and answered and after a good hour of Q&A the first interval and last was already present, as usual all anglers where talking to each other, standing in the room looking around was pretty fantastic hearing the different keywords coming out of the conversation of a 1000+ anglers such as....Delkim....Korda....Fox....Pop Up...Kd Rig....Chodd....Another Pint Please....Linear Fisheries...2010 was great...France, And many more but the best thing about it was you could pull out any 2 anglers and you would know what they were talking about, it really makes you feel proud to be part of an angling community that is strong in its own skills.

2nd half everyone was dead quiet listening to Terry Hearn’s Presentation, this was a fantastic power point in his previous catches at the river Thames, He showed some of his methods but also explained what the benefits of fishing the river was and the disadvantages compared to a lake, after a good 40 mins listening to him I think it really put the cherry on top for every angler, the party didn't stop there, most anglers where staying overnight at the holiday inn so as you can imagine the carp topic was going on all night throughout the hotel, really this was one not to miss even after 8 hours of travelling there and back, to be a true carp angler you need to be committed, take care guys, show the real Angler you are.
