Question: Can you please explain what air pressure is and how it has an effect on my fishing? Andy Stone, via www. totalcarpmagazine. com Marc Coulson says: For the scientific definition of air pressure, you’d be much better off going on Google or Wikipedia. Essentially, it is the pressure exerted on the earth by the air above it.

Question: When fishing near to snags, how much drop should you have on the bobbin? Charlie McConville, via www. totalcarpmagazine. com Marc Coulson says: First things first, Charlie. If you are fishing close to snags then be absolutely sure that you are fishing as safely as possible.

Question: A few waters near me have boilie and nut bans, so I am curious as to what baits you would use on these venues? Jason Ellis, via www. totalcarpmagazine. com Marc Coulson says: Bait bans are a bugbear of mine because they usually stem from the fishery owner being misinformed at some stage and, subsequently, making a knee-jerk reaction to the detriment of his anglers and even the fish in the lake. Boilies are the most nutritious carp bait used on a regular basis and such a ban will often stunt the fish’s growth potential.
