CARPology Magazine

Winter might be closing in, but this month’s CARPology is packed with pure heat! Tom Maker lifts the lid on one of the most fascinating corners of modern carp fishing: naturals. In his in-depth ‘Naturals Masterclass’, Tom reveals his go-to mix, baiting strategy, rig, and the tiny tweaks that turn theory into thumpers on the bank.

And if you thought catching fifty seventies (we’ll display that in just numbers in case you think it’s a mistake: 50 x 70lbers!) was the stuff of folklore, think again. Dave Moore has done exactly that, and in part one of our exclusive feature, we dive inside his scientific mind to talk £20-a-kilo bait, obsession, and a lifetime chasing the biggest carp that swim.

Tim Paisley continues his Carp Fishing Through The Decades series, reliving the explosive 1980s—the decade that changed carp fishing forever—while Bill Cottam sets the record straight on those legendary baiting rumours in Raising The Water Level.
