Total Carp Magazine March 2025 Back Issue

COVER STAR –– Rob Burgess
Rob hasn’t been in the mag for quite some time, but it’s safe to say he made an entrance, an absolute masterclass out in Belgium that saw him land 11 carp – sounds impressive already, until you find out he was only fishing one rod for most of the trip!

Big Carp Mindset
We meet up with Mark Holmes for a long overdue catch-up as he talks us through all things cold weather, including a rather interesting theory about freezing lakes moving his lead.

Neil Spooner
Spooner has been all over the globe this month, from South Africa to Croatia, where we see him land some mega carp. He seems to have got the hang of singling the bigger fish out over the years, we aren’t sure how he does it!

Scotty K
Scotty is a man with a plan! Coming off the back of a few years with very limited time he is granted the wish of a night a week, mid-week! Here he talks prebaiting, time management and most of all how he executes these in-and-out sessions around a busy family life. Sounds familiar to you all we imagine. Scotty not only has all this to contend with but he’s doing it all on Dinton! Is he insane? Read on to find out!

Oz Holness
Gearing up for the spring, Oz’s feature this month is aptly named The Hunting Season, reflecting back on some rather successful springs gone by. Keeping in line with our talks about British records over in Oli Davies’ feature, ironically this one features a former British record, the mighty Two Tone.
