With his long-awaited club lake target finally caught, Elliott closes that chapter for the year and returns to familiar ground. Back on his ‘golden ticket’ syndicate, home to some of the finest carp in the county.

With autumn now beginning to take hold and the fish showing signs of feeding heavily ahead of winter. By reading the water and acting on the opportunities unfolding in front of him, Elliott finds himself in the midst of an extraordinary run of captures.

What follows is a remarkable spell of angling, one that could well go down as some of the finest fishing of his life.
