The Fishing Gurus Podcast

[@ianjansens4823]

This is one of your best podcasts, what an amazing woman

[@StevenBrooke-m6b]

Simply, one word, BRILLIANT!!! Thank you Mrs. Fishing, most enjoyable and inspirational!

[@bigdav47]

I love these in depth chats and I enjoyed this one. What an awesome lady Sandra is. I don't know her, and never met her, but she worked hard for everything she has. A marriage made in heaven as well it seems with Alan. Keep these chats coming, they are brilliant. It's just such a shame we can't see these with some of the old greats no longer with us like Ivan Marks and Frank Barlow to name two of many, what chats they would have been.

[@aaroncard6403]

What a absolute inspiration this lady is, full of energy and determination. Well done Sandra on all your accomplishments 🎉🎉. One of the best podcasts guru has done.

[@darrenreed8783]

Matt what a great podcast, enjoyed listening to Sandra s accomplishment and what she has achieved both through her business and her angling career. So humble but the most decorated English ladies angler .

[@paulwilliams1519]

What an absolutely brilliant podcast cast, I never knew Sandra had such an amazing angling story, and what a lovely person she is ! Best pod cast yet 👍

[@minkyandbear]

Brilliant interview. Totally agree with Sandra's business ethics, they mirrored mine. Business aside what an amazing career and life. Just have fun for the rest of your life.

[@ianrichardson5512]

Fabulous interview. Love that there is no “I” in team. Appreciates the contributions of everyone albeit she is a very talented individual herself. Wishing continued success to her and her teams.

[@andrewrodgers9644]

Great podcast. Sandra clearly isn't just a fantastic angler, but also seems like a strong, driven individual who has created one of the most respected brands in the Angling industry. All, no doubt, whilst keeping things afloat at home whilst 5x was doing his thing...

[@tommywall342]

Captivating podcast..probably one of my favourites so far..thank you nervous Sandra..❤

[@richardtuxford1812]

Didn't realise Sandra was from North Lincolnshire originally! I remember going to meet Alan after he won his 3rd WC as a junior angler back in the 90s and met Sandra too and remembered what a lovely person she was. Great podcast guys

[@davidbrooks8038]

Thats the best pod cast you have ever done bar none..

[@marktaylor2424]

Happy memories of fishing the nationals with Sandra for Cambridge FPAS back in the day. Lovely person.

[@richardwatson5388]

Only time I ever met her was when both teams (Nisa Waveney and Cambridge) were practicing for a National on the Cam and Ouse.

[@DaveHarrell-cu3zk]

Wonderful interview! Sandra, you are a total credit to the world of angling. Have a great Christmas! x

[@bryanhutchison9982]

Such a comical lovely lady. Was a great experience going to be measured up for my Halkon Hunt gear.

[@edwinhern6931]

[@stevemccrory9130]

The FIRST LADY of Angling. Full Stop. A pleasure to have met her a couple of times, and to hear her stories from her adventures with and without 5X. Thankyou to Guru for making the Xmas Special Podcast so special, and thankyou to Sandra for finally agreeing to do it.

[@jefftuttlebee7472]

Halkon Hunt clothing so good my first set lasted OVER 30 Years Now on my second set now 2years old divide the cost by the number of times used its the best value clothing I have ever owned

[@Horsepowerimages]

Sandra is such a lovely lady, the world needs more Sandra’s

[@FISHINGMINTY]

Fascinating to hear the cottage industry back-story of Halkon Hunt although I've now got visions of Steve Ringer with bare chest and arms in a bib & brace! 😆

[@ChrisJackson-tv2rj]

Incredible lady. And brilliant pod cast. Get that lass on again. Well done Guru! 🐳👍

[@kierandavis1219]

A fantastic podcast gents and Sandra is a fascinating lady. Well done to all.

[@keithchambers2825]

Great podcast, really enjoyed that, what a fantastic ambassador Sandra is for women in angling.

[@ianhadders4873]

I can remember winning a match on the river idle when i was a teen and the clothing i won was the wrong size sandra was doing the presentation and also helped donate prizes like jackets and trousers from her fishing clothing company she heard it didnt fit came over to me and my parents asked for the clothing back , what my size i was and took my address and within 2 weeks had a full set of personalised clothing along with some other bits and apology letter shes a absolute legend still got the jacket and letter 30 years later so thank you again sandra

[@philiptaylor3568]

Loved this one,well done.

[@robwalker651]

What an interview,a lot of blokes will think "not for me",they will be totally wrong.Typical woman though,she cant remember half the time but she remembers the drinks bill in Ireland lol.

[@stephenmcnamara4393]

Sandra hasn’t changed a bit I used to see her regularly when Tommy had his shop in Doncaster where she started her business above the shop she was lovely then & watching this podcast brings back so many memories of laughs we had with Alan Taylor Tommy & Sandra ❤

[@mrb6089]

Top podcast brilliant lady.

[@deanstones6773]

Brilliant podcast

[@pauldraper42]

I still use my goretex Holken-Hunt bib brace and jacket I bought in about 1985. Still as good today.

[@robertfossey1798]

In the late sixty’s early seventies we used airesole lids aroldited to a clothes peg then put on poles which where mostly bamboo.

[@Simon_Spike_Duke]

It was at willow park with BoB Nudd and William Raison for the Birds of a feather fishing Programme, remember it well. Why not try getting Jimmy Bullard on that would be a laugh 😂

[@rogerjames6956]

[@shauncorless8965]

I bet she could regular beat Alan,,such a nice lady ,

[@NathanWatson-lc4yl]

My favourite.😻

[@leejohnson221]

😳you can’t tuck your Windstopper into your bib n brace, that’s just wrong

[@davidarmstrong5073]

Wouldn’t stand a chance of even getting in the team these days. Like all England representative squads and teams across all,disciplines it is a 100% CLOSED SHOP. It’s an utter disgrace, the sooner all England representative teams are selected via a fair and transparent qualification process the better for all.

[@mg10056]

To imply the England teams aren't picked on ability is inaccurate. Squad members may not fish every day of every event, and team members are selected with the sole aim of trying to win / reach podium positions. Full Drennan sponsorship took the pressure off individuals raising funds to enter. It can cost a lot to participate nowadays. To suggest all teams representing England aren't picked to win, is ill informed.

[@mg10056]

To imply that ALL England teams are not picked on merit is inaccurate. Not every squad member will fish every day of every event. There are various reasons for this, but team selection is made with the intention of winning / achieving a podium position. Full Drennan sponsorship made assembling squads easier. Individuals raising funds nowadays is difficult. Stating teams are a closed shop, is ill informed.

[@davidarmstrong5073]

@ you missed my point completely, the selection process and opportunities to fish as part of any England international team are restricted and limited. Look at any representative squad across all disciplines that was “selected” in 2024, 2023, 2022 and even further back. The number of new anglers is extremely low, and in some cases the squad doesn’t change from one year to the next, how can that be right, how can it be selected on ability as you suggest ? I could probably name the 2025 squads right now.

[@mg10056]

@davidarmstrong5073 The age specific squads (U18, U21 etc) are trials based, as are vets. The seniors (mens float) have, for over 30 years been hand picked by managers (1-2) who know the abilities of many high calibre match anglers, having watched, analysed results etc prior to selection.

[@davidarmstrong5073]

@ can’t wait to see all the new “caps” in 2025 👍👍

[@dazkennedy8641]

What a women ❤
