Favourite Carp Book
craftycarper on Sat Apr 25, 2009 4:26 pm
One of my favourite Carp books is actually more of a teaching manual rather than a straight out book. Its the Fox complete guide to Carp Fishing.
Its a softback with 243 pages of high quality photos with some great illustrations as well.
Its a great book if you have only just started carp fishing as the level of teaching is fairly basic but its got some great advice in it. Even if you are an intermediate angler its still failry useful though
It costs £17.99 and is available on the fox website and some tackle shops.

Fav Carp Book
Admin on Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:22 pm
One of my favourite books is Carp Fever by Kevin Maddocks. I got this book when I was a kid and it opened my eyes! I think its out of print now but theres still a few copies of it floating around on the net.

Ive got some kevin maddocks on video,carp fever vol 1-4 ,and i cant watch them as there to cringe worthy as the fish care is......well there aint any.... And after i see him hold a 30 with no mat and walk it back to the water i turned off and i aint watch it since or the rest.................
Not taking nothing away from the man himself....he's a good fisherman ....The first man to catch a 30 and a brace of 30's from very difficult waters............
But to see him on part one of them video's just done my nut in just the way he struck into each fish and most of them where pastie that didnt even warnt a strike......................

dont forget some of these videos are years old ..maybe before mats came out
as for handling fish with out one ....us older anglers ..have caught and handled 100's of Carp with out a mat ...and they all went back in to fight another day in perfect condition 
here is one from over 20 years ago ...no mat but the fish was fine

Carp love em lol
Wrongenuk on Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:35 pm
Totally understand that the video is years old but i still cant watch it,it turns me over...And i have to much pride and care for the quarry i seek,to look at old school seasoned anglers without fish care...Sorry it just does my nut in..........like it would if i see it on the bank now...Just ask some of the people ive fished with when i see people dragging carp in or miss handling them on the bank...and yes ive tried to show them the errors of there way but i get attitude or banned or a telling off or the fact im actually gonna be in a fight situation unless i keep me nose out.......................Im so glad things have changed well most of the time.but i wonder how many a carp took a bang on the bank back in tho's days............
Anyway Ron just a change of subject lol............me old mate worked at jag,yes i know its a big place but he worked in the spray side i think.........his names lee farley(northern wooley back lol) ...just wondered if you new him????

Ron,
I had my fist unhooking mat which was wierd looking back now as (it was a black and silver Nash unhooking mat.)
Now I got that in in about 1985 I think so when did unhooking mats come out?
When was your vid made Wrongen?

Yes it is ....him and his dad both brought some stuff of me when I worked at Jaguar as an Engineer
and I was only talking to Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath last month ...I grew up next door to him in Park Lane Aston, and the group used to practice in my house in the old days before they became rich and famous
as for videos/dvd and books
