Total Carp Magazine October 2025 Back Issue

As the seasons change, our approach should too and this month is the issue that helps you bridge the gap as the early, middle and latter stages of each season come with different challenges. Some of the best names in carp fishing are at your disposal to offer years of experience learned through trial and error on their own part – we curate it in a way that helps you pull it from the page and catch you more carp.

On the cover is Lewis Read and here he talks about his autumn successes and how he utilises boilies in different ways. We joined Ian Russell at Booneys on the Manor Farm complex and put some serious graft into catching a couple of carp, proving that moving is often critical to success. Elsewhere, Scotty K heralds the flipper rig as his go-to, big-bait, big-carp rig and Rob Gainer proves that prior groundwork and time served on one lake can lead to big hits on even the trickier venues.

The gear selection has grown a bit this month with the new Head-to-Head series kicking off with three of the best bite alarms on the market. We also have the new NDS bait boat in for a first look as well as offerings from Fortis, Thinking Anglers, Korda and many more.

All this, plus a FREE 32-page Autumn Rig Guide courtesy of Thinking Anglers’ expert team inside the October issue… enjoy!
