Total Carp Magazine

Think you need 24 or 48 hours on the bank to make things happen? Julian Cundiff says otherwise. In this month’s cover feature, Anatomy Of… Short Session Fishing, Jules explains why eight hours of properly focused angling can often beat a day or two of simply camping behind the rods. From choosing the right venue and preparing everything in advance to location, mobility and feeding for a single bite, it’s a complete guide to squeezing more carp from the time you actually have.

And with autumn now upon us, we’ve gone big on arguably the most exciting period of the carp-fishing calendar. Our Autumn Sorted! section sees Oz Holness tackle the seasonal transition, Simon Crow explain how he approaches gravel and silt, and our Opinion Poll ask which pieces of traditional autumn advice simply no longer stand. There are also 22 Ways To Improve Your Night Fishing, plus a clever bait edge that turns ordinary boilies into soft, liquid-loaded sponges.

There’s even more bait thinking in the FREE 32-page Sticky Baits Autumn Bait Supplement, packed with seasonal advice and ideas to help you make the most of the weeks ahead.
