Ade (the master)

My name is Adrian Kiddell, I have been an angler for over 35years, in the early years I fished the Norfolk Broads with my father. After a few years as a successful match angler I turned to the specimen scene in search of more peaceful surroundings. I caught my first Barbel in 1984 and have been hooked ever since. Once I had introduced Tommy and then Ginger to the Barbel scene we started to fish together more often. In order to advance our fishing and enjoyment even further we formed the now famous Team Barbel. I consider my self to be lucky to achieved as much as I have in fishing and just hope I can go on to achieve even more.
