MARK HODSON


Mark Hodson

An angler since he can remember, Mark Hodson almost literally lives, eats and breathes fishing. A match angler in his youth, fishing for the junior Starlets, he turned to the dark side and joined the 'floppy hat' brigade in his college years. He worked in the tackle trade for ten years, on a part time or full time basis at Chaplains, one of Birmingham's busiest tackle shops and managed the specialist department there for two years.

He now fishes just for fun, although the 'floppy specialist hat' still dominates his angling, his writing concentrates on getting the maximum enjoyment from your angling and trying something different from the norm.
