Big Carp Soars

I’ve been writing these little introductions for over 20 years now as we approach our ‘Double Centenary Issue’, Big Carp 200, which hardly seems possible. What’s more remarkable is that there’s always so much news to squeeze into this little space. You would think I’d said it all in 22 years, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. This month is no exception, and some of the articles this month are going to blow you away. Big Carp has always had its niche in the marketplace; I would say we appeal to the middle to top end of the carp angling ladder, not that we are short of junior interest, as each month you will find youngsters craving to be part of this magazine.

But it’s in the capture of ‘special carp’, true English warriors, big heavily plated mirrors, old dark thoroughbreds and ‘Mr Average’s’ personal bests where Big Carp comes into its own! Despite all the competition from a dozen other titles, if someone catches something special it’s in Big Carp that they want to put their article, and I am so damn proud of that! Just recently Big Carp has soared both in written material quality and in its readership. We have doubled our print run this year and our App is now being read in over 40 countries every month. Our social networking is phenomenal with tens of thousands of followers.
