Big Black Scaly Issue

This month’s issue is a treasure chest of scaly carp porn with so many articles, I can only tell you briefly about each one. The cover star is Dan Roberts with the ultimate carp from the Rise in Essex. A heavily plated mid-forty mirror from the Blue Lagoon makes mouthwatering reading from the pen of Michael Bond. Martin Columbo’s photo album is full of incredible beauties, but you would never guess where he caught them! That legendary woodcarving, the Woolpack Fully, was on the hit list for Russell Phillips, and now you can read his exclusive story. A mid-forty half linear caught by Stephen Chesney, but on tench gear – surely not? There’s a session and some carp to remember for Adam Kitchen with a huge zip linear and pristine common as a backup. Late night stalking for Mark Foster has given him exceptional results of late, while another BC regular Adam Honeysett has caught his target, Stella, from the Manor. Paul Bennett is back, smashing his PB with an epic 59lb 1oz leviathan. Keith Picket has been targeting the scalies of Chilston Stour. John Anderson has been hauling, with some monster carp for sure. Speaking of PBs, Ian Burkill and son have both broken their PBs too. Read all these exclusively in this month’s BC. Also, John Vickers and pals smash the Yateley Pad Lake and Steve Manning catches an immaculate common as he gets back into carping after having two strokes. WHAT A LINEUP!
