Carp Fishing – Autumn Tactics- Andy Grenfell
If ever a rig was purpose made for a season, the Hinge Stiff rig, for me, was made for autumn. That’s not to say I don’t use it at other times of year, but from around September onwards, as the weed beds begin to die back and the leaves are starting to fall from the trees, this rig for me becomes my number one choice.

Coarse Fishing – Waiting for Spring – Rob Young
I was really looking forward to getting back on some of my favourite waters, chasing Tench on big pits or mega hard pits. There were three main waters I had in mind, the largest one going up to 120 acres. All three of them have their own problems, i.e restricted areas, restricted fishing times...
Carp Fishing – Wet, Windy and Wild, Welly Winter – Carl Udry
Welly is generally very shallow with average depths of only 4-5ft. It does drop deeper in some specific areas, but the majority is consistent in depth. This is what can make it productive in the winter if you do the classic things like stay mobile and keep eyes and ears always open.

Karpervissen – Alles of Niets – Vincent Van den Abeele
Eind juli zou ik mijn jaarlijks verlof mogen starten met een vistrip naar het magische rainbow lake. De voorbereidingen werden moeilijk door een drukke periode op de werkvloer, mede door de Corona.
