The April issue of Total Carp is here!

Headlining this month’s magazine is Luke Vallory, holding one of the most spectacular looking carp we’ve documented live for the cameras! Blacker than charcoal, smothered in scales and with a huge set of shoulders, this was just one of a number of Sandhurst carp Luke caught for the feature! On the topic of Sandhurst, those following Nigel Sharp’s fishing will know he’s been on the Winter Syndicate and with the arrival of spring he concludes his campaign and his series!

As well as the usual live features such as Luke’s Quest, Ian Russell’s Troubleshooter and more, the mag is packed full of great tips and tactics that will help you catch more fish this spring. Whether it’s tying the perfect pop-up rig with Lewis Read, getting guaranteed presentation with Rob Burgess’ flatbed solid bag or Oz Holness taking your watercraft skills to another level, the advice that’s on offer comes from the very best anglers out there!

On top of this, we’ve teamed up with the guys at Dynamite Baits and Carp Spirit to give you a FREE 32-page supplement with 101 of your questions answered by the pros! Not only that but we also have two amazing competitions, with Trakker alarms and a set of Daiwa’s incredible Basia X45X rods up for grabs! So make sure to enjoy the mag, enter the free competitions and make the most of this bonus material!

ON THE COVER

QUEST FOR A DAY TICKET FORTY

As Sandhurst switches back to a day-ticket lake, Luke Vallory was quick to take advantage, seeing him string together two successful sessions on the bounce. Find out the tactics he used to catch awesome carp like the cover fish!

REFLECTIONS OF SUCCESS

It’s called carping, not camping! In this month’s Reflections piece, Oz Holness extols the virtues of being mobile in the spring and looks back at how doing so has led to a number of successful spring campaigns!

FLAT BED SOLIDS

If you could only use one tactic this spring, then solid bags wouldn’t be a bad bet! Rob Burgess knows how to tie them better than most and here he outlines his favourite way of tying them, for guaranteed presentation every time!

INSIDE THE MIND

We always state the importance of location, but sometimes picking the right swim just isn’t good enough! Choosing the right spot in your swim can make or break your session, so follow Matt Eaton’s advice to stay on track for success.

DIARY OF A CARP ANGLER

There are few anglers who consistently catch as many big carp as Dave Lane and this month he continued his run of carp, topped by his target fish! To add insult to injury, he did it all using just one rod…now that’s some carp angling tekkers!
