He may be one of the youngest in the WSF team but with over thirty year’s experience, Jim O’Donnell combines both a modern approach with a traditional background. Aged five Jim was introduced to coarse fishing on the Thames. Thirty years later Jim is still an avid freshwater angler but he’s better known for his saltwater skills, historically as a top charter skipper and in recent years for his journalism and photography. Jim’s recent work includes a series of basic instructional fishing books for the Royal Yachting Association.
