Spring at last?

No sooner had I written last month’s editorial about the mildest winter on record than the sky turned black, and within a few hours the whole country was under six inches of snow! I should have known better than to say what I said, hence the question mark at the end of this month’s title.
It’s been a hectic start to 2012 what with the deluge of shows springing up every week, and by the time you read this I will have attended five already in this country! I started off with the excellent Aztec show in Norfolk and will end with my local Farnborough show in early March – The Big One, as Vince Davies modestly calls it. And yes, it is without doubt the biggest attendance in the UK with 20,000 expected this year. Once they are over with, I’m off fishing for a while.
“So what have we got in Big Carp this month, Rob?” I hear you ask… Well, it’s a spring edges special edition with not only the Big Carp Rotary Letter contributors giving you their best spring tips, but also some great articles from Rick Golder on bait and Carl Bullock on his top tips to instil confidence in what you are doing. Rick and Carl are both long-term Big Carp contributors, consistent catchers and inventive carp anglers.
