Garry Atkin - Nash Off The Hook Podcast - S2 Episode 127

The Official Nash Tackle Podcast

This weeks podcast guest has been described by many of the very best anglers in the country as a carp fishing "terminator", it's Nash consultant and Derbys finest Garry Atkin.
Garry has been a carp angler for decades and he firstly recalls his formative years around the "colourful scene" of his local lakes before he made the plunge to travel to a historical venue outside of Derbyshire in the shape of Linear Manor Farm. Let's just say some not so textbook stroke pulling led to him capturing some historic fish including the Birthmark and Random Linear, after which the carping world was his oyster.
Despite a busy self employed work schedule and family life Garry shares in a no hold barred manner his adventures on the like of The Dark Park, Blue Lagoon, Linch Hill, Bluebell Lakes and topped off by an awesome account of his time fishing Fen Drayton natures reserves catching a unknown 42lb common! Garry also shares accounts of the antics he has witnessed both on and off the lake during the years as well as what it was like to fish alongside the likes of Terry Hearn.
Finally Garry explores why he chooses to move from venue to venue, day ticket to syndicates and why variety is important to him. He also talks about despite an incredible carp fishing album, he has done very little outward publicity in terms of his exploits.
On things for sure Garry is 100% honest and open about his angling and the stories and captures will have you inspired to get out in search of your own adventures.
