It works for Avid Carp star Ian Russell - it could work for you too!

Ian Russell - cover star!

AVID CARP-sponsored star Ian Russell is widely acknowledged as one of the very best catchers of carp on day ticket waters.

His simplistic but intelligently thought-out approach seems to work wherever he goes.

Angler’s Mail magazine got Ian to take us on a winter carp hunt for the issue cover-dated January 10, 2012 (pictured right).

And as you’ll see from the brilliant Action Replay feature inside the magazine he caught fish to order.

Here, exclusively online, is a close-up look at Ian quickly tieing up his rigs to finish up with what you see above. Follow these steps…

1. Using a baiting needle, a boilie goes onto the loop at the end of Ian's hook link, adding an Avid Carp Corn Stop below it..

2. Ian sets the distance from hook eye to bait that he wants his hair to be, before he uses the knotless knot method. This is really straightforward, quick stuff when you get the hang of it.

3. A few turns round with the hook link, below the eye of the hook, down the shank..

4. Almost there with the final few turns. Note how those final turns are set.

5. The link goes back through the eye, to have a loop tied into it for connection at the safety lead clip. Here by Ian's bait, the business end, the job's a good 'un!

That’s exactly what Bedfordshire’s Steve Cliff did during an amazing four-night session on Brasenose One lake on the Richworth Linear complex, Oxfordshire.

Angler's Mail - the No.1 mag has the No.1 Facebook, and we ran the first live fishing Q&A in November 2011.

ANGLER’S MAIL MAGAZINE’S Facebook page (click here to join) recently ran a live forum starring Dr Paul Garner of Peg One tackle and Fish Frenzy baits.

In a session of two halves, Paul talked first about baits. Then – below – he discussed tackle. Here are his expert answers, full of top tips!

Polarising sunglasses are vital to Paul Garner, and many other top anglers too.

WHAT ITEM OF TACKLE WOULD YOU NOT BE WITHOUT?

This really got me thinking, and perhaps surprisingly, my answer isn’t strictly an item of tackle at all!

It would have to be a good pair of polaroid sunglasses – preferably two, as I am always losing them!

I absolutely love being able to spot fish in the water, and OK on a lot of venues you can’t do this because the water is too murky, but where you can see the fish it is such a thrill. Plus I have honestly lost count of the number of times that I have caught fish only after I have spent some time looking for them.

Even on a venue where you can’t see the fish a pair of polaroids will help you concentrate on the float tip, or quiver tip, so I would be lost without them.

Question thanks to Angler’s Mail magazine Facebook fans Kieren Borer and Dave Chandler.

Don't skimp on hooks, go for quality, says Paul.

IS IT WORTH SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON TOP GEAR?

Well like most things in life, you generally get what you pay for BUT that doesn’t mean you have to be using all the latest gear to catch a lot of fish and some items are much more important to spend your money on than others.

Firstly, make sure you have the right bait, you aren’t going to catch much if you don’t get that right even if you have the best gear in the world.

Secondly, do not skimp on the terminal tackle items. The bits that actually connect you to the fish. Always use the best hooks, line, floats, swivels, etc that you can afford. When you are connected to that special fish you really don’t want to be worrying about whether you hook is strong enough or if your line is going to let you down.

I was also asked about asked about hook sharpness, and this sort of fits into this answer as well. Yes, hook sharpness is MEGA important for almost all kinds of fishing, so keep checking the sharpness, and along with other items of terminal tackle if you think they have suffered any damage then change them straight away.

The bigger items, like rods and reels, there are some great products out there at all prices and the best advice I can give you is to ask other anglers on the banks of the venues you fish what they are using and what they think of it. After all, every venue is different, and what may work great on one, might not be the ideal choice on another.

Question thanks to Angler’s Mail magazine Facebook fans Ian Allen, Anthony Wood, and Kyle Smith.

It's quite easy to avoid tangles with Method feeder rigs, as Paul explained.

HOW DO YOU AVOID TANGLES ON METHOD FEEDER RIGS?

This normally happens on the cast if you are not putting the hook bait actually in the bait that goes around the feeder.

If the hook is hanging loose then it tends to be dragged through the air on the cast and can tangle with the main line at the back of the feeder.

Several companies now make flat feeders that come with a mould, and these do make baiting up dead easy once you get the hang of them.

I know a lot of people worry about putting the hook and hook bait actually in the groundbait or soft pellets, as it could make it difficult for the fish to actually get at the hook bait, but my mate Stu Morgan and I have actually filmed method feeders falling through the water and most time the hook and hook bait break free as the feeder hits the water surface.

The other thing worth trying is shortening the hook length, for carp I normally use around 4-5 inches, but go up to about 8-10 inches for bream, the shorter you go the less chance there is of it tangling.

Angler's Mail - the No.1 mag has the No.1 Facebook, and we ran the first live fishing Q&A in November 2011.

ANGLER’S MAIL MAGAZINE’S Facebook page (click here to join) recently ran a live forum starring Dr Paul Garner of Peg One tackle and Fish Frenzy baits.

In a session of two halves, Paul started by talking about baits. And below are his expert answers, full of top tips!

Commercially produced, but these boilies are offered by Paul as halves.

DO YOU MAKE YOU OWN BAITS?

The answer Kevin is that most of the time I use baits from the major bait companies, but there are still times when I want to alter the flavour, shape, texture, buoyancy of my bait, and this is much easier to do if I make them myself.

All of the bait companies put a huge amount of research into developing baits that really catch fish, so I can’t compete on my own with that level of development, but I do like to use something a little bit different, so I will use their baits and put my own mark on them.

For example, I will chop boilies in half, make a paste out of the base mix ingredients, perhaps use a pop-up and a bottom bait to alter the buoyancy.

It is worth mentioning that you can come really unstuck making your own baits, I have been there, come up with what i think is going to be a great bait and then blanked royally on it!

So these days I tend to let the bait companies do the hard work and then add my own twist to them.

Question thanks to Angler’s Mail magazine Facebook fan Kevin Pestell.

Flavours do make a difference, says Paul.

DO FLAVOURS MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

The short answer is yes. A few years ago a friend and I spent a lot of time looking at different flavours and additives and how fish in large tanks reacted to them.

Some of the results we got were simply amazing, the fish would literally rip up the gravel in the tank looking for food! This wasn’t just carp either, roach, tench, and barbel, we got similar results! Even with very small amounts of flavour the results were the same.

Remember though, this was in tanks, I then tested the same additives with wild fish where I could watch them with my underwater cameras and I got some good results, but nothing like as good as in a tank.

In general we found that the ‘food dip’ type additives were better than just flavours, we got great results on Scopex Squid, Monster Crab, Amber Strawberry, the all time classics really.

So would I flavour fishery pellets as was asked in the Q&A session on the Mail’s Facebook, yes definitely. And I know a few top match anglers who have really got into this to make their baits stand out.

Question thanks to Angler’s Mail magazine Facebook fan Sean Masom and others.

Those red balls help Paul pop-up his deadbaits for pike fishing.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH DEADBAITS FOR PIKE FISHING?

Deadbaits – I pop them up almost all the time. I normally use the pop-up foam balls that you can buy and attach them with a short length of wire to the trace.

A lot of the time I want them only semi-buoyant though, so they sit just off the bottom, not right up in mid-water.

Do oils and flavours make a difference – yes, a lot of the time we are using sea baits, which aren’t natural anyway. Pike have a highly developed sense of smell, so adding oils, or just mashing up some fish, so you get a real trail of flavour will get you more bites, especially on rivers where you get a nice flavour trail going downstream.

I use a lot of different deadbaits, but just recently I have been catching a lot of fish on herrings, but like all things, that’s because I have got most confidence in them, and that has so much to do about all fishing!

Wolves football star and keen carp angler Jamie O'Hara (left) and Korda carp ace Ali Hamidi are backing Cast For Life, and are seen here with carp caught at the launch, at Manor Farm, Beds.

ANGLER’S MAIL (as shown in our September 13 magazine) are helping promote the new charity scheme called Cast For Life.

Korda stars have been signing up to Cast For Life

Here we have some bonus photos from the launch and explain how YOU can get involved.

There are two ways to support Cast For Life and raise cash for Cancer Research UK – with the chance to win some great Korda and GURU tackle along the way!

Your gateway to taking part is Cancer Research UK’s website www.cancerresearchuk.org

For an even faster route to the angling pages click this link >> http://myprojects.cancerresearchuk.org/cast-for-life

Here you can choose from two options:

* Hold a tournament

* Sponsored catch

‘Sponsored catch, or Match The Catch as we call it, simply means any angler can register on the website then upload a photo of a good catch they’ve had. It could be anything from a 2 lb roach or a 3 lb bream through to a big carp of catfish. We will match the catch’s weight in pounds with cash pounds,’ explained Ali Hamidi.

‘Holding a tournament is something we hope lots of anglers and fisheries do on a local level. It could be something like we’ve done here today, or more likely an individual match. We provide tackle prizes for the top three as an incentive,’ he added.

* Updates and links on Cast For Life should also appear soon on the website www.korda.co.uk

It can be banded on the hook sideways in what they call propeller style, or lengthwise on the hair as a snowman presentation. Neutrally buoyant and made from high quality ingredients, we were told, in tubs of 25 per pot.

The warning comes from Australia but the global impacts could be far-reaching with many other species potentially exposed to the threat.

Former president of the Australian Coarse Fishing Federation, Bob Dimmack, told Angler’s Mail magazine that Victoria state authorities are supporting and funding The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s research into the genetic manipulation of fish species.
Bob said: ‘The research being done in Tasmania is to produce a genetically modified strain of carp that produces only male offspring.

‘The intention is to use this technology to eradicate carp from Australia. While the eradication of carp may, to some, be desirable the possible worldwide effects could be unthinkable.’

For the full shocking story, read this week’s Angler’s Mail magazine.
