Martin holds both official and unofficial South-African Carp records with Carp of 59lbs 15 ounces & 65 pounds respectively. It is probably not unfair to say that Martin catches more South-African monster Carp than everyone else put together and have appeared numerous times on the cover of our top angling magazines “The Bank Angler” & “Tight Lines” Many years of experience as a host & guide to international clients seems most relevant to mention here. Current Projects:  Martin’s life is dedicated to everything Carp related. There are very few waters currently in South Africa where big Carp is being protected, in most public waters the angler is allowed to remove the Carp and do with it what he pleases hence a constant battle with authorities and fellow anglers to educate them in the principles of Carp preservation and management of waters and our precious fish. Martin writes a monthly article in the “Bank Angler” regarding these issues as well as educating fellow anglers on how to safely fish for big Carp, the result is staggering, the amount of anglers converting from traditional methods to European methods are skyrocketing which is great news for our fish. Currently a DVD is being made named “The ultimate quest for a world record”. The name says it all. Most of Martin’s time is going into establishing African Big Carp Holidays as the no1 Adventure Carp holiday company in South Africa. Previous occasions saw Martin fishing alongside UK Legends such as Steve Briggs, Simon Crow & Rob Hughes to name a few. I believe Simon Crow still refers to that trip as one of his most memorable fishing trips ever. Martin took a break from Carping holidays for a few years and dedicated his time to fishing and searching for good venues & South Africa’s Monster Carp. Now he is back in business, be prepared for professional Carping holidays that cannot be equaled.. Period!
