How It Started and Why It Still Matters
My name is Barry and I’ve been fishing now for over 30 years. For the past 4 years i’ve been running carp fishing socials for a charity called Veterans in Communities.
Those events showed how powerful carp fishing can be for connection and wellbeing. While the charity side comes to an end, the heart behind it doesn’t.
Carp Addict Socials may now be a business that helps feed it’s sister brand, Carp Addict Clothing (and my kids naturally) — but the values are the same. I still aim to support and raise funds for charities helping veterans and their families, and I still love bringing carp anglers together.
WELCOME TO CARP ADDICT SOCIALS!
"The social side of carp fishing"
Built by a Carp Angler, for Carp Anglers
Carp Addict Socials is about carp fishing the way most of us enjoy it — with mates, brews on, rods out, and no one shouting “last fish wins.” We run exclusive lake bookings for carp anglers who want good fishing, good company, and a proper social. You book on. You turn up. You fish together.
No matches, no pegs, no pressure — just carp anglers sharing a lake, swapping stories, and enjoying the time on the bank.

No overcrowding, no “I had a bucket there”, just a proper social.
No Pressure
No matches, no dedicated pegs, and no trophies.
Everyone Welcome
