"Over 400 pages of 'Original Thought' by the greatest angling thinkers this country has ever known make this the book that every carp angler regardless of experience will want to own. A unique piece of carp angling history with superb photography throughout. There is a well known old English saying that 'two heads are better then one' when it comes to solving a problem! It was with that saying at the back of my mind that in 1991 I came up with the idea of the Rotary Letter. Not that it was a totally original idea however, since the likes of Dick Walker and his friends had a very similar thing going many years ago. I just suddenly found myself with the greatest angling minds at my disposal; the equivalent of the Mensa of carp fishing minds, the UK's top thinking anglers, and I was quick to make use of this huge pot of knowledge. These few were my original 'rotarians' - Rod Hutchinson, Kevin Maddocks, Jim Gibbinson, Steve Allcott, Zenon Bojko and me of course. Who could argue that I'd got the creme de la creme of original thinking? Funnily enough this 'meeting of minds' happened a couple more times in the next 25 years as editor and owner of Big Carp magazine, and each time I resurrected the Rotary Letter again." The book has contributions from eighteen of the finest carp anglers around. .

"It's all very well having the latest 'all-singing all-dancing rig' and this year's 'wonder bait' but using them effectively and at the prime time of year is another ballgame entirely. .Effective seasonal combinations are a very diverse subject, and warm weather carping is very different to cold weather. This volume concentrates on warm weather fishing, and our collection of experts .each divulge their own unique way of making sure they are top rods on their chosen venues. .Seasonal tactics and techniques is a vast subject, which is why we have devoted two separate journals, one for spring/summer and one for autumn/winter. Use these two books in conjunction with Advanced Terminal Rigs, Bait and Baiting Strategies and Watercraft, and you will have the complete 'knowledge' for catching carp all year around."

To "celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Big Carp magazine, this series of books entitled 'Big Carp Legends' will encompass the greates names in carp fishing history over the past two decades. The content of the books in this series will be a mixture of articles from the archives of Big Carp, life histories of famous anglers and original articles specially commissioned for the series." Told in his own words, this is the story of John Harry's carp fishing career. His "love afair with Savay Lake has spanned over thirty years. He has seen and been part of every era this historic lake has been through. John fished alongside Lenny Middleton, Kevin Maddocks and Andy Little during the birth of the hair rig. When Rod Hutchinson wrote 'the Carp Strikes Back' and enthralled the carp world with his tales of Savay's monsters, John was by his side. Alongside Peter Broxup, John fished for three decades; his dedication, his enthusiasm and his knowledge - second to none. 'The Famous Five', 'The Loonies' and 'The Toads' offered John the utmost respect. John's black cab became part of the scenery. His bestselling book, Savay, came out almost twenty years ago, so don't think for one minute that you have heard this story all before - you have only heard a fraction of this tale. John is not only a great angler but also a great thinker, or do these facets walk hand in hand? Never one to sit back and hope, John's mind led him to come up with methods, tactics and ideas never before published. His latest ideas regarding hooking arrangements and leading will astound and educate." .

"Most carp anglers will end up fishing day ticket venues at some point every year, and this book will give you the extra knowledge and advice to make those sessions a success." "With the right tactics and techniques, day ticket fishing can be extremely rewarding, but it's a very different approach to that of syndicate fishing." Day ticket waters "tend to be hard fished with a quick changeover of angler and constant introduction of different baits, but use this to your advantage and you can increase your catch rate by many times. Short hit-and-run sessions can prove devastating. The angler that hones this approach can be unstoppable. .I have several really good tactical anglers writing in this book, along with information on some of today's top day ticket venues. It would be impossible to document them all, but by taking a cross section through some of the best, there will be useful information that can be taken anywhere and tried (as well as) as well as actual accounts of sessions and campaigns on .specific venues, which include Sandhurst, Farlows, Linear, Linch Hill, Wraysbury 1, Catch 22 and Cottington, day ticket venues that have consistently featured in the Big Carp Top 10 Day Ticket waters every year."

"Big Carp is the original 'top end' carp mag for the thinking angler. Started in February 1991, its aim has always been to give the ordinary successful angler a platform to tell his story - proper anglers with proper tales to tell. Many of today's top carp anglers began writing in BC including Dave Lane, Terry Hearn and Jim Shelley, all of whom wrote their first ever articles in our pages. 25 years later and we still have the same philosophy - NO consultant advert/articles. We are still keeping it real! We hope you have enjoyed reading Big Carp over the past 25 years; many of you reading this grew up reading our magazines and books. We have commissioned some very special chapters for this book including Rob Maylin on 25 years as editor, Keith Jenkins on the iconic venues, Martin Gardner on the future of Yateley in his hands, Clive Williams on the growth of French carp fishing holidays, Mike Wilson on the evolution of carp tackle, Lee Jackson on 25 years behind the counter of a leading carp shop, Steve Briggs on the evolution of carp baits and the UK's most consistent carp angler, Dave Lane, tells his story of 25 years on the big carp trail, along with lots of other incredible chapters specially written for this incredible volume. We also polled our loyal readers for their Top 10 lists on a variety of subjects including the all-time Top 10 carp and carp anglers, and shown on pages 5 and 6 are the results for these two subjects. Whether you agree or disagree is immaterial, these were the votes at the time. We now have a yearly vote in Big Carp so if your favourite is not there perhaps it's time you got voting. Many people boohoo today's carp scene, too commercialised, too cut throat and too political, they say. Well my friends that's progress for you! If you don't like it then I suggest you try our rivers, somewhere that you can still find peace and the unknown, much like it used to be when Big Carp was in its infancy. Long may our beloved sport continue, and long may Big Carp be the true carp angler's favourite magazine." .

"Ritchie is without doubt one of big carp fishing's true legends. He dominated the seventies and eighties catching more 35lb-plus carp than anyone of that era. Propelled into stardom in the early eighties with the capture of the North Lake Forty [Bazil], two pounds over the official British record [which he refused to claim, maintaining that Chris Yates was the true record holder], he became a household name and soon had a weekly column in the Angling Times chronicling his exploits at Lake Cassien. .Here is your chance to know everything there is to know about this great angler, in his own words, with extracts from his own secret diaries and many never before published photographs from the golden age of carp fishing." .

Told in his own words, this is the story of Albert Romp's fishing career. "One of carp angling's characters and founder member of the Savay syndicate - the 'Looney Rota' was named so because of him. Sally the carp was named by him when he caught the country's biggest ever 'winter caught' common, many moons ago, and for a while Sally was the world's best-known carp. Inventor of the unhooking mat, Albert rocked the angling world a decade later by smashing the record brace with two huge spawny monsters from the North Bay.

Now here's your chance to learn all about this iconic angler from his early beginnings at Furnace, Chobham and Pippingford, fishing alongside the icons of the seventies - Hutchinson, Little, Middleton and Maddocks in the Colne Valley, always with long-time fishing buddy, Bob Baker." .

The content of the books in this series will be a mixture of articles from the archives of Big Carp, life histories of famous anglers and original articles specially commissioned for the series." Told in his own words, this is the story of Steve Briggs' fishing career. Briggs' career as a serious carp angler began with a 27lb 12oz fish at Brooklands, which would have been his first 20lb+ capture, and a hard to beat personal best, had the fish not been foul-hooked. The frustration of this, and probably a sneaking sense of guilt which turns up here and there in the text, spurred Briggs on to beat this near-miss legitimately. In his first season in the Darenth Valley, he caught four thirties "a feat unheard of at the time" and went on to explorehundreds of waters at home and abroad in search of huge carp; Belgium, Holland, Morocco, Portugal, Lake Raduta, South Africa, Rainbow, the St. Lawrence, Lake Ontario, Austria, and elsewhere. "In fact, he has caught carp of over 50lbs from five different countries. Being the only angler in the world to do this is his claim to fame." Steve Briggs was one of the pioneers of Lac St. Cassien, and his book Cassien .and Beyond, is profitably read in conjunction with this autobiography. Cassien .and Beyond. .
