Current Issue

Autumn is here, and with it comes one of the most exciting times of the year for carp fishing. In this issue, we set you up to make the most of those shorter days and longer nights with a packed line-up of inspiration, tactics and gear.

We kick things off with Scott Lloyd, who shares his autumn mindset and an epic Dinton forty that proves persistence pays off. Our friends at CC Moore weigh in with smart seasonal advice on bait choice and feeding strategies as the water cools, while we dive into the importance of preparation and mobility with tried-and-tested tips to keep you ahead of the game through the autumn transition.

Editor Jake Addison teams up with former editor Matt Townend to reflect on a memorable winter session on North Bank as the pair gear up for a return, aiming to go one better this season with even bigger carp. From practical bank craft to lessons learned on the road, their session highlights the importance of planning and adaptability when the weather turns.

On top of all this, we round up the latest essential gear to keep you warm, mobile and effective as the temperatures drop, plus the best bait choices to keep the bites coming.

Whether you’re chasing your autumn target fish or preparing for the months ahead, this issue has everything you need to keep catching right through to winter.
