BARRY O’CONNOR

Barry and Ben are a well know father and son team that in recent years have carved a name for themselves in Carp fishing with some truly phenomenal angling displays during BCAC and other competitions. They are both prolific catchers who know a thing or two about tackle, tactics, bait application, presentation and water craft. They have a highly regarded regular column in ‘Carp Talk’ in which they write about the trials and tribulations of their angling.
