Paul joined the company during the development stage in 2006. He started as Finance Director and has since moved up to Managing Director. Paul is a keen angler but by his own admission a novice in the “Big Carp” world. He is looking to change that and is on the way with a 24lb Carp from the ‘Pads’ lake. Paul is currently still serving in the Army and will be leaving soon to concentrate on Ai and to catch some fish.

Having over 20 years experience Carp Fishing in and around the Darenth Valley and then numerous venues in Essex including the infamous Manor Farm. I have had a few articles published in Big Carp Magazine and joined Team Atomic in July 2010. Currently fishing at Cotton Farm in Kent run by Lee Jackson. Personal best Mirror was achieved at Manor Farm the Northern Linear at 46:04 and Common from Cotton Farm the Little Big Common at 37:14.
Well to be honest the winter has been tough for me on the Big Lake at Medway Valley Fisheries. I have spent three overnights on there and a few on Brooklands too where one night it reached minus 7. It really is obvious thing to say but it really is so important to stay comfortable during the cold. Using a good quality sleeping bag like the AI Pro Sleep really helps and I find I can have a complete open front when using one of these. Also wearing three layers of thin clothing whilst not in the bag helps too with plenty of coffee! I had decided to keep an area baited on each time I had visited during the Autumn in preparation for the Winter. This never paid off and maybe it’s down to the infrequency of me doing this, once a week at most. As the few times I did fish the swim remained fruitless.

Jon is the second of the sales directors and also works on the same Firefighter crew as Mark. By working so closely together this ensures customer service is of the utmost quality. Mark actually took Jon for his first nights fishing and as a result he too has become a fanatical surface and stalking angler.
Before I left the lake on my last session I had a quick peek up in the corner closest to the gate. The wind had swung round to a westerly in the early hours during the last night of my session and the fish had moved out on it.
I had seen fish in this corner quite a few times before and from my observations most others fished to the obvious gravel humps further out in the swim. I knew there was a nice little clear spot tight to the bank right in the corner behind the overhanging branches of a big willow tree. Although the branches reached the waters surface they didn’t actually penetrate it so they didn’t represent a significant hazard whilst playing a fish provided the rod tip was kept low. As I snuck through the brambles and bushes behind the spot I could see a couple of fish milling about in the area. I had actually trickled bait onto the spot during the previous 48 hours and it had all gone so they had clearly had a good feed in there. Before I left I deposited the remainder of my bait onto the spot using the baiting pole. I suppose in all I stuck in about 3 kilos of pellet and a kilo of whole and chopped boilies.

As we pulled into the car park of Mustang Lake I could see there was a strong wind hacking down into far bank. When I walked round the lake, I noticed that most of the anglers were also set-up on the back of the wind. This seemed perfect as it was a very warm, strong wind away from the majority of the angling pressure.

- Day Session Success I went down to the smaller of the two lakes on my syndicate and planned to do a quick day session.
- First Fish of 2011 I went down to my syndicate on Saturday and the weather looked pukka.
At the moment I am starting on Frimly pit 4, but I have been fishing Frimly pit 3 for the last two seasons. Pit 4 is my favourate venue to date. The highlight of Jake's career to date was catching his first forty but he would like to catch a Burghfield Common. At the moment I’m after Gums from pit 3, but my overall aim is to fish as many different types of waters as I can.
Last autumn/winter until all the lakes froze over; I spent as much time as I could fishing Frimley Pit 3. As this is, I think the best time to pick out the better fish.

Spring of 2010 finally saw me holding a syndicate place for the water I had yearned to fish for a few years, the previous winter saw me purchasing a walk on ticket to allow access for a good look around, and I must admit it looked stunning in its winter colours.
April finally arrived and I pushed my barrow onto the complex with a 48hr stint ahead of me, the excitement unbearable. After a good look around and copious amounts of tea drank with my new syndicate friends, I opted for a swim with a good view of the rest of the lake.
