Special Ones
May is without a doubt the carp anglers' favourite month of the year. The carp are awake, on the move and hungry, making up for all those months where feeding was reduced to a small window when conditions allowed. Gone too are the winter temperatures, so for the carp angler it's so much more comfortable to be out on the bank. Without ten layers of cloths to stay warm. And it’s not too warm either, not like July and august. Yes, May is definitely my favourite month of the carping calendar.
It's also a great time of the year to compile our catch report section, it can get a bit sparse over the winter but in April that all changes and 'The Special Ones' start to make their appearances for the first time of the year. The catch reports are one of my favourite parts of Big Carp and I always try to include everyone that's sent to me, either by email or social media. Sometimes one drops in your lap that takes your breath away, that's what happened recently, a truly incredible carp that just had to end on in our most prestigious front cover spot. A sixty plus fully scaled, the holy grail of carp captures, caught by Lee Mozza Morris, one of carp anglings really nice guys. Well done from all at BC, an unbelievable, immaculate, beauty, one of the best-looking carp we have ever featured on our cover in its 40 years.
Check out our comprehensive catch reports this month and every month for all the 'Special Ones' caught recently in the UK. And speaking of special ones check out Perry Alabaster's' piece also in this issue, stunning.
