Trials for national carp team see anglers decided for final round. The finalists for this year’s Korda Carp Team England Trials have been announced following round two of the selection process held at Lancashire’s Wyreside LakesEight pairs contested the second round, with England management pair Ian Huntington and Pete Holehouse watching proceedings carefully to get the measure of the anglers both individually and as a team. Despite tough conditions on Wyre Lake where the round was fished, and the fact that none of the anglers taking part had ever fished the venue before, the England managers were impressed by what they saw. “We wanted the trial to be as fair as possible, hence setting it at a venue that none of the anglers had fished,” said Ian Huntington.

South West venue breaks 40lb barrier in style - and with champagne!Devon’s famous Anglers Paradise has produced its first ever 40lb carp.

The fish was tempted on freelined Richworth K-G-1 pellet tipped with a grain of fake corn just seconds after the first cast of the session. “With temperatures high I decided to have a look around the Kracking carp lake and found five fish sat just below the surface among some weed.

Since my last entry on the TC website things have once again been super, super busy. I have however managed to get out and about and I’m pleased to say that I have tripped a few up along the way. My first trip in May was an overnight session on the first day of the season on Cleverley Top Lake and after coming out dead last in the draw I managed a stunning, scaley 28lb 8oz mirror known as ‘Busted’ just a couple of hours after casting out. The remainder of the session was very quiet with no more carp but it was great to be off the mark on the tricky Top Lake so quick.

Getting Closer

Since James Armstrong's last piece, his fishing, and life, has been absolute mayhem…in a good way. I’ve spent two nights a week targeting the ancient Leney linear that inhabits my Cambridgeshire water. I’ve seen him a number of times. It was on a mild, springlike day that I found myself drifting around in my rickety, wooden rowing boat searching for fish.

Those tackle boffins over at Fox just keep thinking of brilliant new ways to improve our on-bank experience – and their latest take on the brolly looks set to do exactly that. Lightweight but super strong, the new Fox Supa Brolly employs fiberglass pole construction along with the company’s new STS system giving loads of space under the shelter. Built from high-quality Ven-Tec fabric and boasting such added features as an optional front rib support, extended storm sides for even more room and multiple pegging points to give you loads of height options, Fox has created a quality piece of kit more than worth a closer look.

Marukyu Krill Liquid And Powder
Total Carp Staff  |  May 22, 2012  |  0 comments
Marukyu is taking a little while to forge a reputation with often fickle carp anglers (it’s already hugely popular on the match scene), but trust me when I say that this stuff is absolute top quality. I have used half a dozen products from the Japanese company thus far, and the krill stands out a mile. So much so that it now goes into 90 per cent of all my stick or bag mixes. I use the SFA 450 liquid krill and the SFA 400 powdered krill in combination, as well as individually in other mixes.
