Carp Fishing – Chasing a Dream – Andy Muir
From the first time I saw pictures of the Big Lin I knew that it was the one I would really like to catch. Little did I know that it would start a five-year quest for me to finally hold it up in front of the camera. I’d been fishing the Roach Pit for a couple of years, slowly building up a picture of the lake...
Coarse Fishing – Spring Tench Fishing Part 2 – Rob Young
The next morning came and went, and nothing happened. The whole lake looked dead, as an easterly wind had picked up. I decided to sit it out in my current swim and was rewarded on the third morning of my session with an 8lb 14oz female. Then on the last morning, I managed a 6lb 6oz female tough going was the word, but I went home happy.
Coarse Fishing – Spring Tench Fishing – Rob Young
My real love in angling is Tench fishing, and it’s mainly on the big pits where all my serious tench fishing is done. I’ve been doing this since the mid-1970s, so I think it’s fair to say I’m addicted to big pit fishing, but most of the ideas and methods in this article will work on any water, of any size.
Carp Fishing – Why Fish In Weed? – Matt Eaton
From the carp's perspective there is just so much going for areas of the lake that are full of vegetation. Freshwater shrimps, several species of water snail, mussels and other natural food abound in the green stuff. In addition, the fish are afforded both safety and security and weed emits oxygen.
Coarse Fishing – A Year in the Life of a Specimen Hunter – Jamie Martin
I had also started pike fishing in the November, and this started off with a bang, with the capture of a scraper 20 already and then only a couple of weeks later a dream fish came into my net. At 47” long and so close to my target weight she weighed in at 29lb 3oz!

Karpervissen – Mijn 2019 Karpervissen – Tommy De Cleen
In februari begon het enorm te kriebelen om te gaan. Tussen de open deur dagen door heb ik eind februari men eerste 2 nachten gevist en geblankt. Maar ik heb het één en ander geleerd i.v.m. de topografie van de bodem, paar leuke foto’s en een geweldig gevoel om ergens eindelijk na jaren echt te vissen was het top er te zijn.
Karpervissen – Le Petit Canal – Jurgen
Belgie is redelijk wat kanalen en rivieren rijk. Grote, ruwe kanalen die nog steeds het nostalgische van weleer uitstralen. Kanalen waar echte bakken huizen, en nog steeds druk bevist worden bovendien... Ik hou me meestal afzijdig van deze meute. De zoektocht openen naar kleinere, rustige kanaaltjes liggen me meer. Uw ding kunnen doen zonder echt rekening te moeten houden met anderen? HET KAN NOG! Vaak ook gelegen aan de Franstalige zijde van ons kleine landje.
