Mark Pasons - Pulling inspiration from every possible moment, Marks ongoing diary touches on all the carpy antics and more as it follows his journey and quest between the pubs of north London to the banks of the USA in search of, not only his first carp. but perhaps something more. A fantastic read paired with some wonderful visuals - Well worth the read!

It starts with a simple want, to catch fish, but it is simply becomes more than that - You just have to get out there. Do what it takes - Excuses will always be there for you, opportunity's won't. The facts are, if you are not out there you won't ever catch them & it will never happen.
