CAMPAIGN CARPING ON LIMITED TIME.

Nothing gets in the way of fishing like work! It’s the bane of our lives unfortunately. So how can we possibly carry out a successful campaign on our chosen water on limited time? It can be difficult even for the best of us. By the way, I am talking about normal people here, and by normal I mean fulltime job, wife and kids and all the associated stuff that goes with it. The truth is, it’s not easy… It’s difficult to keep a healthy balance but not impossible, as this month’s contributors will go to prove. Actually some are more campaign minded than others and more dedicated with their time.

Take George Loughlin’s Blackwater Valley piece, which starts this month and will run over the next three months. Encompassing 18,000 words and over 100 images, it describes George’s very successful Swan Valley campaign, and few of you who use the social media could have missed the reports of his many captures. Here's how he did it!

Also running over the next three months and fighting in our corner for the first time, Warren Fenn divulges the secrets and edges that led him to defeat his adversary at Twynersh – a successful campaign at the highest level. Not so much a campaign as a journey, Alan Chowles joins us this month with his tales of the Thames, Shepperton, Rodney Meadow and Bedfont, some great history venues with a pedigree of thoroughbred carp.
