About me

Introduction	My name is Dave Pearson, I am 52 years old (yes I know I look a lot younger) and I have been match fishing - mainly with my club Leatherhead DAS for the past 38or so years. I fish matches on most Sundays throughout the year at venues such as Willinghurst, Willow Park, Gold Valley and Sumners Pond. I also run a number of "Club" angler leagues in Autumn and winter and am a keen contributor to the Match Fishing Scene and Total -Fishing.com websites where I have made a number of new friends over the years. I took redundancy from BT after 27 years with them and after working as a volunteer 2 days a week for 18 months, finally bullied Rainbow Trust Children's Charity into giving me a job ! I picked up the Pikey nickname many years ago courtesy of the then Leatherhead competition secretary Richard Codd, not because I live in a caravan - cos I don't, but because I won a couple of club matches aided by a couple of jack pike.
