Many moons ago when I had a proper job instead of being a part-time teacher and a PhD student , I used to buy quite a few different fishing magazines. Wow how things have changed ! (for the better i might add). Catchmore Carp seems to be aimed at the general carp angler who likes a good mix of technical and fishing stories. Although the emphasis is slightly more on technical and how-to articles than on fishy tales . They have articles by well known and respected carp anglers such as Jim Gibbinson , Paul Selman and John Baker as well as lesser known anglers. There is regular carpvine column which deals with whos catching what in the UK and where ! Plus a great mix of product reviews and general information articles. I also find some of the adverts quite entertaining and informative. I found this magazine a great read , infact I read it from cover to cover , which i havnt done with a magazine for ages. The quality of the magazine is absolutely superb being full colour from cover to cover and at 2.50 UK pounds per issue is very competitively priced when compared to the other UK carp magazines. There is a substantial discount available if you subscribe on-line at the David Hall website. |
This magazine was my personal favorite of the two reviewed although both magazines were fantastic. This magazine contained articles by some of the best and most respected carp anglers and writers today. Rod Hutchinson has a regular "Hutchy Talks Carp" column which in my book is worth the price of the magazine alone ! But on top of that we have articles by Jim Gibbinson , Paul Selman , Ken Townley , Bob Roberts and Brian Skoyles . With this amount of carp experience and expertise on tap how can anyone not fail to learn something from this publication ? I particularly liked Bob Roberts article and editorial although I have never met him or talked to him he seems like an honest no BS type of angler who really knows what he is doing without getting involved in over complicated rigs and baits which just arnt necessary. The magazine is of the highest quality which runs to over 100 pages and is priced at 2.50 UK pounds per issue . Again a substantial discount can be had by subscribing at the David Hall website (click the logo at the bottom of the screen) |
