Current Issue

This month signal’s the start of the new fishing season, with many exciting adventures starting now. As the weather improves, many carp will be starting their yearly spawning ritual and here at Total Carp we’ve got a host of new series starting too!

In Every Second Counts, Oli Davies will be writing about his short session style of fishing, showcasing how you don’t need to be sat (or sleeping) behind motionless buzzers to catch big and amazing carp!

Another exciting addition to the magazine is Mark Holmes making a regular appearance alongside Nigel Sharp in Big-Carp Mind-Set. The sheer numbers of big fish Mark lands each year is simply astounding and as such, we’d struggle to find a better person to follow in this series.

While on the topic of big carp, Elliott Gray headlines this issue, holding a very big and very special carp he’s had his eye on for some time. In this month’s feature, he explains how you too can go about targeting a particular carp and what that entails.

There’s loads more great tactical insights too, with fascinating content from the industry’s biggest names including the likes of Ian Russell, Dave Lane, Ian Chillcott, Luke Vallory and many more! We’re even offering our faithful readers a sneak peek into a brand-new video series, revealing what will unfold in the first episode.

If all of that wasn’t enough to pique your interest, we’ve got a load of bait up for grabs from Sticky and Dynamite Baits, plus every copy of the magazine comes with a FREE Nash ‘Memorable Captures’ supplement, where some of the best Nash anglers share the stories of their favourite captures, and the key tactics that lead to their downfall!
