January 08
Like most men, I know I’m rather guilty of becoming slightly bored shortly after the third party game on Christmas Day. You’re sat there waiting for that split-second of silence and then, there’s your moment: “Right, pub then?” And, if like us, you’re bored on December 25 or anytime before or after that, then help is at hand with this issue’s special features.
We’ve got a cut-out-and-keep map of the stunning Little Horseshoe Lake that’s in the posh area of the country (i.e. the Cotswolds), so if you want to escape from the over-commercialised game of Christmas for a few days, now you know all the spots and features, giving you an even better chance of – gulp – catching a Christmas carp. What’s more, there’s another three other venues to try out too. Page 116.
Or, if the thought of actually locating carp in winter is a frightening one, then check out our Zig Rig Cheating feature on page 24. Plus our now resident DIY chap – Dan – will show you how to convert your standard fish finder into one the Navy would envy.
If your MasterCard hasn’t taken a bigger enough battering this year, The BREAKdown – Kit section should satisfy your seasonal blow-out, with all the latest in gadgets and carp food.
The Rotary Letter (P63) has been lovingly compiled thanks to the Jamie Clossick, Jon McAllister and Martin Locke, and if you still require a bigger fix of carp fishing knowledge, then head to pages 44, 51 and 57, where you’ll find Sharpy in a “Germ Warfare”, Jason Hayward showing you how you can improve your catch results thanks to a file and a steady hand, and finally Keith Moors basically making your think like a fish, not an idiot. It’s brilliant and it’s a brilliant way to kick off 2008.
Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the guys and me at the most creative thinking publication in magazinedom!
Enjoy the issue.
