Steve Newman has been a loyal customer and friend to Eclipse Baits since the companies inception and during that time we have seen this quiet and unassuming man catch some incredible carp from a diverse spectrum of waters. Steve’s approach is based around the simple ethos of “find them, feed them and catch them” and he certainly does this well so we are delighted to have Steve on board as on one of our consultants.
Steve says; I started fishing at an early age with my Dad on some Essex Club waters for a variety of coarse species but then I hooked my my first carp at the tender age of 10 and became obsessed with their elusive habits and the methods required to catch them, spending every available spare moment fishing for them. My carp angling journey has taken me to all sorts of local day ticket and club waters such as Doggets, Rochford Reservoir, Johnsons, Stambridge and the Colony Complex being just a few such examples but as my fishing progressed I started to fish more demanding venues such as the Cleverley Fisheries Quarry, Boyton and Ladywell venues. I have always been inspired to fish much larger waters so my next challenge was the big gravel pit known as Area 52 in Reading where I caught some incredible fish but more recently I have joined the Star Lane Syndicate for its lovely old fish. I feel truly honoured to be part of the Eclipse Baits consultancy Team and am relishing the prospect of developing and testing new ideas and products.
