Syndicate Success
As British Summer Time ends, we once again head towards the winter season. Many anglers will already be thinking of next year and what venues they will be concentrating on. Getting on a good syndicate is not easy these days. Some have waiting lists that may require a considerable waiting time, and there's the cost to think about too as these days we are all counting the pennies. So why bother? after all there are plenty of good day ticket fisheries and club waters around. Syndicate carping has become the backbone of our carp scene in recent years. Not that syndicates are a new thing… far from it, as they date back to the 1950s at Redmire and probably earlier than that. However, a syndicate gives the serious carp angler many benefits – security for cars, tackle and even the angler himself, camaraderie while fishing with a group of likeminded friends, the opportunity to work on certain areas or swims with respect from your fellow fisherman and an open exchange of information and catches, which benefits both the anglers with only limited time and those with more fishing time on their hands. Yes, today there are some excellent syndicates around, albeit that some can be very expensive and others very difficult to join. There also appears to be a more gentlemanly attitude to other syndicate members; the cut throat, fish-at-any-cost ethos so common in today’s scene is not apparent… or at least I hope so!
With this in mind our articles look at 'Syndicate Success' on a variety of very different waters.
