Howard Williams

Member since May 2018 Calheta, Portugal
Background
I have always been a keen fisherman. As a boy, I fished on the Gwendraeth for Sewin and Trout,etc. I had my first boat in the early '80s and since then have been building leisure fishing boats in the UK, striving to give the ordinary fisherman a strong, seaworthy, well-designed craft. A BSAC dive leader, my team produced dive ribs and ran a dive trip business in Pembrokshire. I caught my first Blue Marlin in Madeira and although I have fished in many countries, from that moment on I was hooked!
