Fishing with Phil Spinks
Fishing sessions with Phil Spinks
Long-term member Phil Spinks is widely recognised as one of the UK’s top specimen anglers. As a leading figure at Angling Direct and the main face of Angling Direct TV, Phil is well known throughout the angling community. He can also be seen fishing at Homersfield Lake on our YouTube series “THE LAKE.”
For non-members, there are only two ways to fish at Homersfield Lake:
- By renting Kingfisher Lodge or Five Islands House (terms and conditions apply), or
- By booking a fishing session with Phil.
Phil’s catches at Homersfield Lake have made angling history. In 2017, he achieved an extraordinary haul of six roach over 3lbs in a single session, a catch that made national headlines. In February 2020, he caught a 4lb roach, one of six different 4lb+ roach recorded in the lake’s history. He has also landed carp to 44lbs, including a remarkable session in which he caught a 20lb, 30lb, and 40lb carp. In August 2020, Phil landed a staggering 99lb Wels catfish.
In 2021 alone, he caught 188 carp, including two over 40lbs and numerous 30s and 20s.
Fishing sessions with Phil
Please email us for current prices for non-member sessions.
Watch our videos to hear what the late John Wilson thought of Phil’s success at the lake and to listen to Phil himself talk about what makes fishing at Homersfield so special. Many anglers who have joined Phil for a session have gone on to achieve their personal bests.
Over the years, countless anglers have not only benefited from Phil’s expert guidance but have also landed PB carp, roach, catfish, tench, and bream during their time with him.
These sessions come highly recommended. With years of experience catching specimen fish across the UK, Phil offers incredible insight and knowledge, making each session valuable for anglers of all abilities. For more information please email us.
If you’re interested in joining our full or winter membership waiting list, a day session with Phil is also an excellent way for us to meet you—and for you to experience fishing the lake firsthand.
