Mallin’s Midlands Monster
Cover story this month is an angler who has featured in Big Carp since the very first issues over 30 years ago. An angler who travelled from his Midlands home for more than a decade to tackle the hardest waters in the country in his tunnel visioned pursuit of England’s biggest carp. ALL the most sought-after carp of the time fell to his rods Bazil, Mary, The Black Mirror, Heather, you name it and Dave Mallin caught it. But this capture, featured on the cover, is up there with Dave’s all-time favourites. A true Midlands monster. Here is your chance to read the exclusive story.
Along with Dave’s article this month we have some great features from anglers who have had successful sessions this year. First up is Thomas Greasley with some fishing for the unknown on his local Nottinghamshire river system. Getting the adrenaline flowing is top of the list and who could argue with that. Tim Thornton has been a regular writer in both Free Line and Big Carp over the years. This month he tackles Melbury Reservoir in Devon, back in the spring this year. The stock in this prolific venue are beautiful. Superb scaly mirrors and pristine commons and Tim knows just how to catch them consistently.
