Nash Tackle Off The Hook Podcast - S2 Episode 35 - Jacob Worth
This week the podcast sees the return of “The London Carper” Jacob Worth.
Jacob is a young man who certainly is going places not only with his angling but also within the angling industry itself. It’s been over a year since Jacob feature in Series 1, Episode 16 of the podcast and its fair to say a lot has happened in that time.
Jacob talks about his fishing over lockdown and how he managed to target northern canals in his hometown as well as managing to catch a 40lb+ Belgium mirror to save what was a tough trip once we were able to travel. There’s the usual craziness, antics and funny stories along the way as you would expect.
Upon returning to London Jacob had managed to secure a fishing boat which he explains isn’t “the dream” you think it would be as well as his exploits with regards to buying his houseboat. Jacob talks about starting a long-term campaign on the Docklands area which he will document via a campaign video once he has managed to tick off all the fish he believes are in there. He has got off to a flying start and there a not to subtle sneak peek at an incredible unknown fish from his campaign thus far.
Prebaiting, approaching urban venues and opinions around publishing venues and captures on the London scene is all covered. This certainly will help steer anyone thinking of their own urban campaign in the right direction, as Jacobs previous captures show he can certainly catch them. There’s also some very relevant information and advice on anyone entering the media side of the industry and looking to build their profile in the modern carp fishing industry.
He also talks developments in terms of his career direction away from professional dancing and more into the angling industry in various forms. Jacob talks about his plans to expand his work within the retail sector of the industry with his expansion and investment into his part time job at a London tackle shop. He also shares his excitement for featuring on CarpFix in the future covering his urban angling exploits and bringing them to the masses. Finally, he explains his venture into the new carp raffle phenomenon that is FishOLux.
There’s one thing for sure Jacob is a real grafter and he’s not one to let opportunities pass him by. His passion, commitment and drive for success clearly shines through everything he does, one thing for sure his future is a bright one.
