For over a decade-plus, Koki has steered his boiler installation company to success, paving the way for a consistent and rewarding fishing lifestyle. His business acumen fuels both warmth at home and adventures by the water. 

​

From his mid-teens to the present, carp fishing has been a constant companion, evolving from a pastime to a profound passion. The last 5 years, marked by a focused dedication, have elevated his angling success to the next level.

​

Seeking mental peace, Koki found solace in syndicate waters. The calm, combined with a strategic approach, has undoubtedly contributed to his angling success and amazing album of captures.

Luke is a Bedfordshire based Angler who first discovered a passion for fishing at the age of 8. Spending time on his local river whilst accompanying his Father. It was there that Luke landed his first ever river Carp at 14lb, a catch that earned him a well respected feature in the Angling press. From that moment on, like many of us he was completely hooked. 

​

Luke went on to compete in Match Angling for several years, but his passion for Carp Fishing never faded, eventually drawing him back to focus on it exclusively. As a self-employed Tradesman, Luke's time on the bank is often limited to short sessions & quick overnighters. Therefore his approach is simple; small baits & maximum flavor, designed to induce 'quick bites'. This approach continues to serve Luke well, ending a session almost every time with a 'Wet Net'. 

Angling became a passion for Adam at the age of 14, when a close friend invited him to Keston Ponds for a day of fishing with his dad's gear. They managed to catch a few small roach and rudd, but the true turning point came a few weeks later at Godstone Vineyard, where he caught his first carp, weighing up to 10lb. That experience hooked him for life, and now in his 30s, carp fishing is an essential part of his identity.

​

Adam skillfully balances his fishing sessions with the demands of work and family life, and he feels fortunate to regularly spend time on the bank. Whether he's at busy day ticket waters or quiet syndicate lakes, he's happiest when his rods are in the water, relishing the pursuit of his next catch. For Adam, carp fishing is more than just a hobby—it's a lifelong passion that brings him joy and fulfillment.

David is a passionate angler who goes the extra mile—literally—to catch his quarry. He has specialized in day ticket lakes, where he’s successfully landed several carp exceeding 40 pounds from some of the UK's top venues. Recently, David has transitioned to syndicate fishing and feels just as at home in these waters.

​

With a keen eye for good-looking fish, David prefers quality over quantity. His OCD fuels his meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that nothing is ever overlooked in his setup. Only the best will do, which is why he chooses A Carpy Connection products. His go-to gear is the size 4 Chod hooks, paired with a combi hinge rig—a combination he trusts for its precision and reliability.

Lee has been on the bank since the age of ten, spending his early years as a dedicated all‑round coarse and match angler. Everything changed in 2008 when he joined friends on a carp trip to France and landed a few memorable European whackers. That experience lit a spark. On returning home, he made the decision to swap the world of general coarse and match fishing for a full‑blown carp‑fishing obsession, selling off his match fishing gear and diving head‑first into all things carp.

​

For years, Lee honed his craft on day‑ticket waters across the ‘Shires’ before settling into a handful of local syndicates. These days, that’s where you’ll usually find him from Spring through to Autumn, tucked away in a quiet swim at the weekend, chasing his next target fish, with the occasional European adventure thrown in for good measure.
