If you’re hoping to expand your angling horizons with a fishing trip across the Channel, make sure you read this to get the most out of it – bon chance!
One more sleep until the Nash Mega Social weekend, an angling experience organised in order to support research into KHV to help protect future the generations of angling. The money used to purchase the tickets for the weekend was put towards funding research into the genetics of KHV, taking the first step towards breeding carp which are resistant to the virus. Preparation is critical prior to any session, especially when you face a new challenge on a new water. Hours of tying rigs ready for all situations it was essential to find some more information on the water; catch reports and photos of the lake were reviewed and I even managed to get my hands on information regarding water depths for each swim.
In this live piece we join Mark Pitchers in session at Pool Bridge Farm’s Q Lake, this venue works on a booking system where you prebook your swim beforehand, so it was going to be interesting to see how Mark approached his chosen swim with no option of locating the fish using his own watercraft beforehand.
Prologic's Mark Hogg quietly goes about catching some of the country's biggest and best. This time he's here to answer Total Carp's quick-fire questions!
