Mike Holly - Nash Off The Hook Podcast - S2 Episode 88

Joining host Hassan this week is a man who’s also comfortable hosting his own podcast for Baitworks as well as an incredibly gifted big carp target angler especially in and around the Cotswolds, this week the podcast welcomes Mike Holly.

Mike talks through his upbringing and how he developed his love for big low stock wild waters which ultimately led to him targeting various special, off the radar non publicised carp in the Cotswolds Water park. Mikes shares his opinions and expertise on how predation has affected the water park over the years he has fished there. He shares his thoughts on how he managed to catch on these low stock big waters as well as highlighting how his “obsession” for his target carp can drive him to extreme levels of dedication.

Prior to his current role working for Baitworks Mike talks about a completely different career working in marketing for various Charities including UNICEF. He talks about some stark and horrifying experiences of other people’s realities across other countries and how this has shaped his positive attitude and love for life. 

Mike talks about a few of his successful campaigns in recent years and how he has managed to even in the middle of winter catch some of the finest carp in the area on limited time with a busy job and homelife. One thing is for sure Mike is an incredibly intelligent, driven and articulate man who has used his experience, upbringing and passion to achieve things that on the face of it seem almost impossible to most of us.
