About Me - Alan Tomkins
Based on the Berkshire/Middlesex/Hampshire/Surrey borders.
I am a highly experienced all-round angler and qualified PAA (Professional Anglers Association) instructor.
As a PAA coach I have the PAA level 2 coaching certificate which as well as angling coaching includes first aid and child protection, and also carries personal insurance.
I have written many articles in the angling press (some of which are reproduced on this site) as well as a book on carp rigs.
I am something of a specialist in the use of the centrepin and the Wallis cast.
I am a long-time member of the BCSG (British Carp Study Group)
