Philip Pembroke (edit name/settings)

Here we are

My name is Phil

I write fishing guide books - covering fly, sea and coarse fishing in Spain, France and Portugal.

Nothing compares to ordering a pint of Guiness - my favourite drink, in my favourite local Romford bar, the Goose and nothing compares to a two week holiday spent fishing for carp at my local lake in Dagenham, east London.

But the quest continues, to find the perfect fishing experience. Fishing Ben El Quidaine lake in Morocco for virgin carp, with friends in 2007 was a wonderful time.

I have spent time fishing for Bighead carp in north east China in 2010 and drunk the local whiskey. 2011 will be the Chinese year of the Rabbit (xin mao - delicious cat) and I'll be in touch with the Asda butcher to see if they can rustle up a few choice cuts.

My blog has stories from near and far about fishing and travel.
