In this episode we discuss the all-important effects of the weather on our winter carp fishing, and how Elliott is now using his pond as gauge of how the carp might be acting in our lakes. We reminisce of a trip to the famous Redmire Pool, a visit to John Baker's bait lab and a trip to Nash Lakes Royston, where Elliott looked in detail at Jim Shelley's bungee rig. We also discuss the Northern carp scene and the Northern Chapters book , now that Rich has had the chance to read it he gives his verdict, and we're calling out for venue suggestions too! There's this and lots more so buckle up and enjoy.
