Renovation CARPdiem

Lot’s going on this side. Our Magazine CARPdiem has taken a giant step forward. Apart from a total re-design and re-format we are now printing in the UK, so import times from China have been cut down. The magazine has grown in terms of team members too. I still have the original team Angel and Raul but now we now have Peter Staggs on-board as Sub Editor. Peter is a well known Angler in Spain having spent more than 25 years fishing here for Comizo Barbel and Carp. I am sure he will bring rich content and higher quality articles to CARPdiem. We have also taken on UK Angler James Harrison. James has a wealth of knowledge something like 25 years Carp fishing skills from the UK Carp fishing Media, between the two of them Peter & James the mag has something like 50 years more knowledge. The pair of them are excellent photogrpahers, and since the new objective is to make the magazine very visual with the best quality photos possible, I am sure we can do just that. The new issue is out now and is set to give all European magazines a run for the money. To be fair we are trying to evolve the CARP fishing press, and we are well on the way to doing just that. I think in 1 years time we will have the best looking magazine in Europe, so watch this space. You can see the new cover here in this blog and the original photo as it was taken. The fish was a cracking mirror carp from Sierra Brava a good mid 30lb plus Royal, I was well happy with that. Actually Peter Staggs did the photo for me. I think the cover came out very well, but I will let you and the readers be the judge of that. Session wise, we have been out and about. This year already we have managed to fish in Salamanca on the river Tormes. During this 16hr. Football Fishing session we managed to pluck no less than 14 fish from the river. Not bad for winter fishing. The full report is in the current issue of CARPdiem. Besides that we have also managed a session on the Sierra Brava against the Black Carp Team. These boys are some of the best Anglers currently fishing Spanish waters. The team put up a good fight against us and we managed a few fish to mid 20lb. Once again the full report will be in issue 8 of CARPdiem. Tight lines and keep on fishing. See you the next time. AM
