So, here it is, the first Total Carp of 2023! Well, we wanted to kick things off with a bang and so this really is jam-packed with some big names, as well as plenty of great advice for catching carp this winter. Headlining the magazine is Gaz Fareham who reveals his lessons learnt from many a winter spent on the bank, Elliott Gray talks in depth on winter baiting strategies and Lewis Read reveals his way of winter carp fishing, which doesn’t rely on endless time behind motionless rods. There’s other great year-round technical advice too, from Jerry Hammond who talks in depth about some rig tweaks in Eureka Moments, as well as Ian Russell’s guide on how to avoid the biggest pitfalls he sees during his Troubleshooters! If you like the live session content, then look no further than Luke’s Quest For A Day Ticket Forty. After unlocking the code last month, Luke returned to Sandmartin for a bumper session and some incredible looking carp – certainly one not to be missed! There’s more action-packed content too with Otto Reade, as we join him in session at Tar Farm. Looking for a bend in the rod from some awesome scaly carp? Then this could be just the ticket! As always, we’ve got all your other usual favourites too, including our round-up of the latest and greatest gear, so enjoy this issue and another fantastic year of Total Carp!
