Series 8: 5. Ceredigion - Carp and Tope
Bob is taking Paul to Ceredigion on the western Welsh coast, as he is on a mission to try to catch a tope, a rare species of shark.\n\nEven though Bob is not a fan of the sea, he is willing to risk his own comfort to catch something very special and try to prove to Paul that he is now the stronger angler of the pair.\n\nAs they arrive in Ceredigion, they settle into fishing in a carp lake, close to the coast. Bob has even bought a pair of brand new waders to try to impress Paul.\n\nThis is no ordinary carp lake, as it has been built and maintained by Mark Owen, a disabled angler who was dismayed at the lack of opportunity for people in wheelchairs to be able to fish.
