AUTUMN LESSONS: CARP ON THE POLE WITH BOB NUDD
When you step outside and the temperature sends a shiver down your spine, you know it is time to change your tactics. That cool air will chill the water, which then impacts on the behaviour of fish stocks and their feeding habits. As a result, the expectations of anglers dip. If they were used to A-plus style bagging in the summer, they now happily accept the mediocrity of a C grade. But should you really have to accept such a downturn in results? Who better to ask for advice on the topic than one of the sport’s
greatest legends. Bob Nudd has won more major tournaments than he can remember, with four individual gold medals in the coveted World
Championships among them. Despite still being a regular on the match
scene, he is just as happy pleasure fishing as he strives to improve his skills and uses this time to help identify essential tactical changes.
