About Jim Bekker

My fishing adventure started when I was a little boy. My grandfather often took me to local park lake where he thought me how to catch small fish with a fixed rod. After a while my interest in carp fishing, my current fishing, started to grow. In particular when my rod was almost pulled out of my hands by a big fish, which later turned out to be a carp. I prefer to fish the large French public reservoirs and rivers. When the possibility arises, I take my hand-build carp boat to the wild big lakes to fish without limitations. A beautiful way of fishing in the midst of untouched nature. Apart from my hobby, I have a lovely family and I work full-time in the recruitment within the Offshore industry.
