Dave Roberts Profile

Dave Roberts Angling hero...5 times world Champion Alan Scothorne   Favorite fish...Chub   Best angling Story...Whilst coaching at Fishomania 2004. The boy who I had sat on my box to coach turned out to be none other than Alan Scothorne's son. I suggested he should be coaching me!!   Best angling experience...Catching my first Barbel on the river Seven.   Why I became a Coach...I have had that much enjoyment from years of fishing I wanted to give something back to the sport. What better way that encouraging young people to take it up.         I have had some fun times as well. I remember after I started the Bradley Angling club we used to put an experienced angler alongside a novice. The chap I had with me did not know you mixed groundbait with water and tried to throw it in dry. It just blew back in his face. Made him look like a flour grader
