Big Carp Magazine BigCarp 187 Vorige editie

The Warmest Winter on Record.

Record temperatures for December have brought mixed fortunes to our writers as we bring you the second Big Carp magazine of 2012. Sean Leverett has been causing havoc with the carp this winter at Cemex’s Road Lake and Church Pool as this month’s exclusive diary goes to prove, and Keith Jenkins’ Made in England’ has a whole host of winter whackers caught at the end of 2011 including some huge and extremely beautiful true English warriors. Connoisseurs of stunning carp should definitely not miss this issue.

And what a rocking issue I have for you as the Rotary Letter gets the whole country talking about its provocative subjects once again. Dave Lane, Jon McAllister and Lee Jackson’s contributions are worth the cover price alone with subjects including winter bait choice, crayfish, silt, weed, record carp, fish deaths and moon phases plus loads more interesting and thought provoking technical subjects. If you have any questions for the team please email them to bigcarpstudio@hotmail.co.uk.

Ian Stott continues his series on Elstow again this month with more mouthwatering captures for us to feast our eyes on. Ian too has had a great start to 2012, already banking carp at over 30lb, but that as they say, is a story for another day.
John Claridge’s highly popular Big Carp Waters series continues this month as he turns his attention to Pingewood, home of the Brute and many, many proper whackers – more from John soon. Rob Newman returns this month. You may remember Rob from the front cover of Big Carp a few months ago with the Toadless Leather – a striking shot indeed. Well Rob’s back with tales of The Road Lake and an incredible Clover at 42lb 12oz.
