JEFF WOODHOUSE


Jeff Woodhouse

Jeff caught his first fish at the age of five, a mackerel from a Torquay fishing boat. That was the starting point 53 years ago and the sight of that living silvery image coming up from the invisible depths had him hooked for life. Since then he has practised virtually every type of fishing, although not always successfully.

He doesn't just like fish, he has a love affair with them, in his living room, in his garden and at times, in his freezer. Lately he has spent more time either running clubs or assisting them to become successful. Now he admits to being too old to chase monsters, he's happier getting as much fun as possible out of what's before him.

In this monthly series Jeff indulges the rebel within himself, often controversial and always trying to think differently about the usual trends in fishing.

See below for a full archive of 'Woody's Angle' articles.
