However, in true Oli Davies fashion, he managed not only to get bites, but to get bites from two different waters, miles apart in just a couple of Novembe...

The course of most big-carp campaigns doesn’t run smooth; there are setbacks, highs and lows. This one though, must have gone how Luke Stevenson dreamed it!

As Stokesy’s session takes a challenging turn, Nige prepares to deploy his favourite Hinged Stiff-Rig for the first time.
