 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. If you are interested in the Road Lake, Rob Newman returns next 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 his capture of the incredible Clover at 42lb 12oz.
There’s never been a better time to take out a subscription to Big Carp, so turn to pages 76 and 77 to see our latest deals. You certainly don’t want to miss out on these incredible articles all coming up soon. Rick Golder goes in depth and technical on his successful baits and baiting methods, Mick Tuck tells us about his successes in 2011, Ben Dowers starts a new series on Horton, while Richard Chapman and Deiniol Roberts catch a whole host of crackers.
Add to this our regulars like Sean Leverett’s, Ed Betteridge’s and Ian Stott’s monthly diaries, the new Big Carp Rotary Letter team, Leon Bartropp’s World of Bait and Keith Jenkins’ Made in England and you would be crazy to miss it. I’m off to Norwich this weekend to the Carp Show at The Norfolk Showground, and then it’s Brentwood at the end of January, followed by Coventry in February. That just leaves Carpin’ On and The Big One, so I hope I will get to see you all at one of these five shows.
Take a look at the new clothing range on pages 32 and 33 and go to the website www.bigcarpmagazine.co.uk for details of these and our full range of books and subscriptions all available to purchase online. Until next month, let’s hope the warm weather carries on.
Be lucky, Rob Mayin |
