Eighth man announced for World Champs on the mighty Ebro

In what could prove to be a stroke of genius, Carp Team England announced Paul Booth as the final member of the eight-man team to do battle in the World Championships in October.

Ex-pat Paul, a carp angler with plenty of experience, now lives in Spain and runs Ebro Crazy Cats on the river which hosts the match. As such, his knowledge of the venue will in invaluable and could be the master stroke which helps the Three Lions bring home the title of World Champions at long last.

Carp Team England manager Ron Hughes told Total Carp: "Paul's got a long track record in carp fishing and a massive amount of experience on the river Ebro. His addition completes the jigsaw bringing local knowledge to the team."
