Angling has been a huge part of my life for over 40 years, taking me from simply enjoying time beside the water to becoming a qualified Level 2 Angling Coach and professional angling guide. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to contribute to some of the UK’s best-known angling publications, including Angling Times, Angler’s Mail, Improve Your Coarse Fishing, Total Carp, Advanced Carp Fishing, Coarse Fishing Magazine, and Pike & Predators, as well as appearing twice on Fisherman’s Blues on TALKSPORT with Keith Arthur. I’ve also worked with respected tackle and bait companies and have run The Chay Jackson Academy of Angling since 2011, helping anglers develop their skills, confidence and understanding of watercraft. My experience covers a wide range of coarse and predator fishing, but what matters most to me is passing on the knowledge I’ve gained and helping others experience everything angling has to offer. Whether someone is picking up a rod for the first time, looking to improve their skills, or simply wants an enjoyable day beside the water, my approach is friendly, patient and built around the individual.
