25 Years of Big Carp Magazine

Welcome to the 25th anniversary issue of Big Carp magazine, the Original ‘top end’ carp mag for the thinking angler. Started in February 1991, its aim has always been to give the ordinary successful angler a platform to tell his story – proper anglers with proper tales to tell. Many of today’s top carp anglers began writing in BC including Dave Lane, Terry Hearn and Jim Shelley, all of whom wrote their first ever articles in our pages. 25 years later and we still have the same philosophy – NO consultant advert/articles. We are still keeping it real! We hope you have enjoyed reading Big Carp over the past 25 years; many of you reading this grew up reading our magazines and books.

So to this special issue… We have three main themes – 25 YEARS OF BC, RARE ONES and THE BIG CARP TOP 10s.

25 YEARS OF BIG CARP MAGAZINE – My, how thing have changed!

We have commissioned some very special articles from the top experts in these fields: Keith Jenkins will write on the iconic venues, Martin Gardner will write about the future of Yateley in his hands, Clive Williams on the growth of French carp fishing holidays, Mike Wilson on the evolution of carp tackle, Lee Jackson on 25 years behind the counter of a leading carp shop, Steve Briggs on the evolution of carp baits, and the UK's most consistent carp angler, Dave Lane, tells his story on 25 years on the big carp trail. Some of these articles are multi-part, so don't miss this year’s coming issues; we have special articles planned for the whole year.
