Alex Bransby, winner of the Chub Carp Academy competition has been promoted to a full time member of the Chub Carp Academy.
As winner of the Total Carp magazine competition in 2008, Alex was granted a 6 month trial membership to the Chub Academy and has now been fishing with the Academy, attended shows and is now starting to have input into both future and existing products.
Alex, 30, from Northamptonshire has now proven his ability as a top Carp angler and at the recent Academy Meeting, held at Kingfisher Lakes, Norwich, was promoted to a full time member of the Chub Carp Academy.
Alex said;“It truly is an honour to be accepted as a full time consultant with Chub.
“For as long as I can remember fishing has been in my blood, so to now be part of the academy marks exciting times ahead for me.”
Chub Carp Academy Manager, Jason Green commented;
“Alex has more than proven himself as a member of the Chub Carp Academy. An excellent all-round angler, Alex has done features and had articles published in several magazines.
“We welcome Alex into the Academy and look forward to working with him.”
Alex has been fishing for over twenty years, specifically targeting Carp for the last fifteen. He enjoys Carp fishing on a variety of different lakes, rivers and canals around the Nene Valley and has caught many Carp in their twenties and thirties. Alex’s current Carp PB is 38lb.
Alex highlights his strengths as being able to quickly adapt to a wide variety of venues and the challenges they bring. He also believes that the key to successful carp fishing is a mix of sound watercraft, sensible bait application along with learning to trust your instincts.
