Mike Thrussell

Mike has been a professional Angling Journalist, Tackle Designer and Broadcaster for 22 years. His interests include all forms of sea fishing, both boat and shore, but he’s also been a keen fly fishermen since the age of eight, and also enjoys a little coarse fishing when time allows.

Some of Mike’s most memorable fish include his first trout on a fly in 1963, 200lb plus bull shark on 15lb line, 70lb plus yellowfin tuna on 18lb line, 100lb plus tarpon, first sailfish, first striped marlin, first blue marlin, a 35lb roosterfish, a tilapia, a 55lb shore tope, and catching the first 200lb fish (205lb porbeagle shark) ever caught in Welsh waters.

He rates his best angling achievement though as targeting and catching 47 different species of sea fish in 12 months within UK and Irish waters in 2005.
