One Hour Missions!

Luke Kennard’s latest blog heralds a change in approach to his carp fishing Recently I’ve had some amazing news; I’m going to be starting a little family with my partner, and am due to become a father in October. The build-up to the birth of my child in conjunction with working away has meant that fishing opportunities were going to be at a minimum. This has been a bit of a shock to the system as I’m used to getting out on the bank at least two or three times a week, but a welcome change at that. When preparing for an overnighter or a weekend session I always give myself the luxury of arriving early, allowing myself time to find the carp.

From Dusk ‘til Dawn
Total Carp Staff  |  Jul 26, 2017  |  0 comments
From Dusk ‘Til Dawn A busy work and family life, combined with a burning passion for carp fishing, Duncan Arrandale believes that you should make the most of the hours of darkness while on the bank. I’ve been a carp angler for more years than I care to admit to, and one thing that I think is hugely underutilised are the hours of darkness. This is obviously exaggerated in the winter months, but even in the warmer months where it stays light until 8pm and onwards I see time and time again that people do not make the most of their time on the bank during these periods. The lake is often quieter, the surrounding roads will become quieter too, and there are many things to exploit during this time.

Make Your Own Luck
Total Carp Staff  |  Jul 26, 2017  |  0 comments
Make Your Own Luck Mr consistentJACK FUNNELLruns us through how he catches carp wherever he goes, the rules he sticks to and the edges that he uses to guarantee success. The guys at Total Carp asked me to run through the thinking and tactics I employ that often lead to me banking a number of fish from varying venues around the UK, and how a particular mind-set can also help you too. With this said, it is hard to single out just one particular thing or reveal a certain edge; not because I am a secret squirrel, but because I don’t really know what it is that I do that would be considered different from the norm. I don’t really pay too much attention to others, but seeing how much information there is on the internet, it would surprise me if most anglers didn’t understand the basics of carp fishing.

Ian Russell On Nights
Total Carp Staff  |  Jul 26, 2017  |  0 comments
In this month’s instalment, Ian talks to us about how he attacks a night carp fishing session and how you can do it safely and efficiently. After speaking with Deputy Editor Dan Murrell about this feature and our planned night time escapade I was immediately looking forward to a night on the bank, after all it is one of the major bonuses of being a carp angler, being able to use the often neglected hours of darkness to help up your catch rate and most of all expand your carp fishing experience. Dan wanted to know if my carping approach changed at all, the tactics, baits and techniques I apply in the day, do they still work at night or do I have to change my plan of attack. Well in a nutshell no, my rigs bait and tactics are to catch carp and this doesn’t change if the sun is bright in the sky or the moon is on the horizon, after all, do your feeding habits or senses change? Because from my experiences the carp certainly don't.
