    Carp Fishing – A Brace To Remember – Darren Belton

    Up on the scales she went 58lb 12oz, a new PB and to say I was elated would be an understatement. With the pictures done and the Ulcer Fish safely returned to her home, I sat back and tried to take it in. I did not have much time to do that though as a short while later Rob was playing his first Welly carp...

    Carp Fishing – Into the Unknown – Jamie Martin

    I don’t think she even know she was hooked, so I jumped up as quick as anything and then she bolted, and my reel went into melt down. Luckily, the fight was over quickly, as she didn’t know what had happened. I got her out and took photos and weighed her; 31lb exactly and I was over the moon. One target achieved...

  • carp fishing johnsons railway featured

    Carp Fishing – Johnson’s Railway Lake – Wesley Coggeshall

    The lake held around 35 to 40 carp with 9 of them going over 30lb, so a mega stock of old carp. In fact, all the Railway carp are very old historic fish and jet black in colour, so they are very special indeed and have been fished for by some great anglers over the years...

    Carp Fishing – The Horseshoe Diaries – David Gaskin

    With the rod quickly repositioned it was not long before the middle was away and lady luck was on my side, when one of the original Horseshoe linear mirrors gracefully slid over the net cord. I wanted to take advantage of the dawn feeding spell...

    Carp Fishing – Nothing To Be Angry About! – Dan Chart

    Carp Fishing – My Time On The Small Pond – Wesley Coggeshall

    The stock is around 70 carp, with the biggest hitting 40lb at the right time of year and 2 others at around 35lb. All the fish in the pond have characters, and because of the variety of strains and the dark colour of the carp all make for an excellent photo...

    Carp Fishing – ‘Non’ goes Carp Fishin’ – James Clarke

    Around this time last year, I managed to get a ticket on a very well-known water in Essex. The lake in question is only small in size, around 4 acres, but crammed with some very good looking and very big carp. Unfortunately, I only managed to get in around 25 nights but managed to catch a few...

    Carp Fishing – When You Least Expect It! – George Benos

    I had had a pickup and whilst the hooked fish was trying to make the sanctuary of the snags to my left it must have picked the line up on that rod! What a palaver, and by now I was sh*"£ing myself at the thought of losing my third fish in a row...

Carp Fishing – Custom Cork Ball Pop-Ups – Tom Oliver

So why make your own pop ups and why use cork balls as opposed to a standard pop up mix? For me personally, there is nothing better than catching a fish on something you have lovingly hand rolled yourself. It also gives you the opportunity to take your hookbaits to the next level...

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.

    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.
