#020 ROGER BACON 10/21/2020

#020 ROGER BACON We are absolutely delighted to welcome back Roger Bacon to The DNA Podcast! If you follow the DNA social-media channels, Roger will need very little introduction, as he has been smashing them on Grenvilles once again this year, as he does wherever he goes. Roger has been one of the lucky few to gets his hands on our test bait, The Bug, and recently enjoyed his best-ever session on Grenvilles using it, an incredible haul of 40 fish in a couple of days. We talk to Roger about The Bug, his many triumphs on Grenvilles, his summer successes on Christchurch Lake at Linch Hill, and the devastating rig he spoke about in his first appearance in The DNA Podcast back in April. As one of the proprietors of the Northern Angling Show, Roger also gives us an update on what the future might hold for the show in the current climate. Plus, Mozza gives us an update on his antics this summer, which has seen him plunder the stocks of Kingsmead Island Lake and, of course, the legendary Rainbow Lake in France. /episode/index/show/thednapodcast/id/16488827

#019 NICKY MILLS 07/09/2020

#019 NICKY MILLS Our special guest for episode 19 of The DNA Podcast is undoubtedly one of the most successful big-carp anglers in the country at the present time. Nicky Mills already boasts a photo album most mere mortals would take several lifetimes to even come close to matching, and his appetite for catching big carp shows no signs of slowing down! In this two-hour interview with Lee ‘Mozza’ Morris, Nicky recalls his time on the Essex Manor, where he spanked them on a winter ticket; the rarely talked about Aveley syndicate; the Walthamstow complex, where one of the highlights was his capture of the Lockwood Common; Kingsmead Island Lake, where his captures included Leachy's and Roids; and much, much more besides. A really entertaining and interesting interview with a naturally gifted angler. Enjoy! /episode/index/show/thednapodcast/id/15144098

#017 ROGER BACON We’ve got another treat for you this week on ‘The DNA Podcast’, as we’ve managed to track down an angler loads of you have requested! Roger Bacon is considered one of the best big-carp anglers in the country by those in the know. Very much the thinking man’s angler, Roger boasts a wealth of big carp under his belt, including numerous forties and fifties. In this interview, Roger talks about his early days fishing in the North West and his time on Darenth and Elstow, where he landed one of the most-coveted fish in the country, the Mother, which had been on the missing list for more than three years! We also get Roger on the subject of rigs, something that play a massive part in his angling. Roger goes in depth about what he calls the hooking-to-sucking ratio and the rig he devised to try and maximum as many pick-ups as possible.
