Since James Harrison’s first piece in this magazine about carp captures being a result of many things coming together at the same time and most captures basically being ‘meant to be’, I have got to thinking an awful lot. Obviously, the more experienced angler will always catch a few more because he/she makes sure to be there when the right factors are coming together and the rig is in place ready for where the fish will undoubtedly turn up.
I have looked long and hard at my own fishing and, these past couple of weeks apart, I have never particularly struggled to catch carp and for many years I have used exactly the same rig for all of my bottom fishing on everything except soft silkweed. (more…)
Another month passes by and, indeed, almost another year. So what has happened in the few short weeks since I last poured out my thoughts to the Carpworld readers?
Quite a lot actually, but most astonishingly the editor’s exploitation of Brook, my Staffordshire bull terrier – who, incidentally is a bitch, and not a dog, as Martin wrongly stated – in the November edition of Carpworld. I don’t know, you would have thought after seeing her puppies that he might have cottoned on to the fact that she is actually female, wouldn’t you?(more…)
After eight months of writing my ‘Bait Quest’ series in Carpworld, I want to talk about the various topics and thoughts which came to mind whilst reading the latest issue of Carpworld. What a brilliant mixed bag it has become.
With sales well on the increase, the recent facelift the magazine has undergone (complete with ‘Tim Paisley’s International Carper’ for free) has definitely been a move in the right direction, and I would like to raise a glass to all at AnglingPublications involved in the production of the magazine. There’s an awful lot of competition out there, but the first of the carpfishing monthlies can still hold its head up, and it shines through as Britain’s biggest carpanglingmagazine.(more…)
