Carp are a big,beautiful and hard fighting,and therefore are greatly sought after by all coarse fishermen.As a species they are very intelligent,making them all the more difficult to catch.As a result, the landing of any carp should be seen as
an achievement,and to capture a particulaly wary fish is truly a remarkable event.
It is on these serious challenges that John Bailey and his team of contributors concentrate.Over forty experiences tell of the waters,the fish,the problems encountered,and the solutions found.
'Carp Challenge' tells of a big and small fish,from large and small waters,old lakes and new pits,from the UK and overseas.
Some of the carp are famous and others are secret,but all have taxed the skill and nerve of their pursuers to the limit.
The contributors include many household names,such as Bernard Venables,Julian Cundiff,Chris Ball,Harry Haskell and Tony Miles,and all the captures are described in plain,straightforward language with the emphasis on instruction as much as excitement.The though-provoking encounters described in this absorbing book will inspire every carp angler.
Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!
