Total Carp Magazine March 2024 Edição anterior

Was that one of the wettest winters on record? It certainly feels like it! We've had rain, rain and more rain, which has unfortunately left many of our waterways well and truly flooded! The silver lining is that for many of the lakes that haven’t been flooded, the mild weather has led to some spectacular action and many carp have remained on the feed throughout the winter. This could mean some very big weights and a really interesting spring to come!

Speaking of big fish, this month’s lead story is Nicky Mills’ insight into fishing for what is without a doubt one of the biggest and most incredible carp our country has ever produced. What’s more, this huge fully scaled mirror isn’t hidden away in a ‘dead man’s shoes’ syndicate, it lives in The Manor Carp Fishery, an open access venue that anyone can book on to! That’s right – you could fish for this 60lb-plus scaly leviathan!

Continuing on the theme of big carp, Holmesy’s back this month landing the biggest carp in the lake in the middle of winter… something even he was surprised about. Turns out there are still plenty of lessons to learn for a seasoned carper like Mark! There’s some great live session content too, with a Dad vs Lad match between Frank Warwick and his son Guy, plus a particularly productive Troubleshooter Reloaded, which was not only documented for the magazine but also filmed from start to finish – something to look forward to in the near future!

Finally, we’ve a host of tactics, inspiration and advice for the coming spring from top anglers like Rob Burgess, Matt Eaton and Lewis Read to name just a few.

There’s all of this, plus loads more features and gear reviews, making it a stellar issue to set you up for spring. Not only that, but we’re also giving away Part Two of our Alternative Rig Guide, FREE with every issue of the magazine... enjoy!
