As an ambassador and huge supporter of junior angling, I have always been active in helping encourage youngsters to access fishing from a very early age. For me, like many, when I look back to the days when I started out, I can clearly remember who it was who actually helped me.
With this, I’m always keen to take the chance to offer any youngster a golden opportunity to get started. This week as I was personally approached by a young angler who was clearly keen to get into match fishing. I addressed the matter immediately by contacting Paul Lucas at the Moat House Angling Academy based at St Helens.
As a very keen angler himself, Paul’s dedication to promote junior inclusion projects within angling saw him jump at the opportunity help me and give our youngster some valuable assistance. As arrangements were made for the young angler to join the academy on the bank next week, after a call they also jumped at the chance to slot into the development team.
