SPRING TACTICS SPECIAL ISSUE

Have I got an incredible mag for you this month or what? I promise you, there’s something for everybody – huge carp, sound advice, exclusive stories, monsters from off the beaten track and articles you will never see anywhere but in BC.

Where do I start? The EXCLUSIVE diary of The Urban Myth I suppose, and Terry has caught his biggest fish of his life by a mile! Read all about it when he and I met up earlier this month.

Spring Tactics is one of the themes this month, and with that special time of the year only a few weeks away, I thought it was time we got some advice on the latest techniques that have been ripping it up of late. I'm very pleased to welcome Barry and Ben O'Connor back to the mag with the first of a series of articles giving away the secrets that have made them so successful of late; you have to have been living on another planet if you don't know what I mean. Wayne Iszatt is a thinking angler, and his unique watercraft piece proves what a fine line it is between success and failure. Hook points, feeding spots, bait and bait application, rigs, bite times and resting your spots are just some of the subjects covered, backed up by some huge, proper English warriors, never seen in print. Speaking of colossal carp, Jonny Hinks’ Spring Approach piece has a few! Also there’s prebaiting with Daniel Leney whose awesome campaign on the Island Lake has become legendary… and here's how he did it.
