Jim Gibbinson, one of our childhood names we looked up to ourselves, passed away this morning, so we just learned on the Old School Carping page on Facebook.

Few of us Europeans have the opportunity nor the will to fish in the UK, let alone be successful. One exception to this rule is our German friend Philipp Braun, who in the past – in the heyday of TwoTone – fished at Conningbrook and in more recent years tried his luck at challenging and inspiring waters such as Burghfield, Linch Hill, etc. It...
