Carp Fishing | Wraysbury Giants | Sir Pete Springate

Carp Fishing | Wraysbury Giants | Sir Pete Springate
It was an absolute pleasure to welcome none other than Sir Pete Springate into the studio. A founding father of the big carp scene, a pioneer, and outdoors man in the truest sense. Pete is a man that likes to keep himself out of the limelight, so it was great to have the opportunity to sit down and find out where it all began for him, his fishing in recent years and of course his iconic captures of some true Wraysbury Giants!

Awesome, one of my heroes and it’s great to see him👍

[@gardnertackle]

Thanks Graeme!

[@chrissmith1240]

This is great, thank you - please try to do more like this as his generation were continuing the pioneer days of Walker and co.
We can still learn so much by listening to these greats, particularly about watercraft and observation. Its important to note how little reference to bait Pete makes and how you need to know a water and the carps behaviour....words of wisdom.

[@gardnertackle]

Thanks for the feedback Chris and we're glad you enjoyed it!

[@judderzm2252]

Absolute legend of a carp angler who caught some of the country's best carp when you really had to work hard there wasn't the tackle and all the gadgets then that there is now .

[@gardnertackle]

Thanks Jay!

That Wraysbury brace around 92 and the photo of Sir Pete looking up sopping wet at the camera in the Anglers Mail with that Richworth t - shirt is what really got me interested in carp fishing even though I was fishing for carp with luncheon meat and a float and all sorts that capture was immense and I think a record brace the only boilies you could get was Richworth and the tackle was crude with ready tied black Dacron hooklinks black rig tubing no lead clips I have to say I didn't have a clue back then but with my paper money and some birthday money got some gear together

[@pixpix4712]
