As the year draws to a close it’s time to start thinking about your angling for the winter ahead and the November issue of Total Carp will certainly point you in the right direction. Whether it’s choosing the right waters, refining your tactics or simply picking up a few extra bits of gear to beat the cold, a little extra thought will go a long way.
Already the clocks have gone back and in the blink of an eye, the days of finishing work and rushing to the lake before it gets dark are long gone for many of us. However, as much of a chore as it may seem to be arriving in the dark, by learning how to fish effectively at night this could be a real edge – Elliott Gray shares his in-depth thoughts on the subject in the first of his Inside The Mind series.
Another feature that’s not to be missed is Brad Wegner’s Eureka Moments; for those that don’t know, Brad’s an extremely accomplished edge angler and having watched more carp feeding in the edge than most, his observations have made for some pretty interesting views on rigs and bait that could take your angling both in the edge and out in the pond to the next level. Think the ultimate rig and hook bait combo!
Other technical know-how includes Ian Chillcott’s thoughts on long range angling where he reveals why he thinks it’s an extremely valuable string to his bow! Not given long distance fishing a second thought? Read this and things might change for the better. Add to this some awesome inspirational adventures from Alan Blair as he jets off to the Azores, a 48-Hour Challenge with Jake Anderson, a guide to constructing Dave Lane’s bubbler rig and so much more; this issue is certainly going to be an enjoyable and insightful one!
