Features:

| |
|
| Chris is a secretive kind of guy who is well known on the underground carping scene. Jon Banister has pinned him down for this colourful and revealing look at his life. |
| |
|
| Martin continues his series with a look at hooks and hooklinks. Do they do what you expect of them? Read on to find out. |
| |

| |
|
| Brian and Martyn look at what they call the 24-hour cycle, and how you can utilise it to make the most of your fishing time at each stage of the day. |
| |
|

| |
|
| In the first of a three-part series Simon Croft joins Carpworld to tell of his time spent on Yateley’s Copse Lake during 1999. His enthusiasm is evident and he catches several fish, including Scaley, one of the lake’s sought after residents. |
| |
|
| Jenks makes a welcome return to the pages of Carpworld with memories of his times spent, both on his own and with friends, on the inland sea that is Sonning. |
| |
|
| Mark continues his tales of the trials and tribulations of building a fishery from what was once an area of undergrowth with only a small pool. It’s proving to be a hard-won battle! |
| |
|
| One of Ed’s favourite styles of fishing is stalking in the margins and watching the fish’s reaction to his rigs and bait. In this article he puts his thoughts into practice to catch his target fish. |

| |
|
|
| Chris Ball is convinced that the Old Copper Mine, North Devon, is almost a perfect example of a typical carp water. It featured in BB’s book, Confessions of a Carp Fisher, and this month Chris writes about both BB’s and his own visits to the pool.

| |
|
|
| Paul has managed to squeeze in a few sessions this month and caught some cracking fish. But his encounters with eels, work at home, and various other commitments caused problems and meant time away from the banks. |
