Synopsis

Carp Fever', which first appeared in 1981, has been fully revised by the author, and is now published in this completely new fourth edition. The information about carp fishing contained in the book has been brought up to date, and there are many new photographs. Carp Fever is the fastest and best selling single species coarse fishing book ever published, and the book itself has had an enormous influence on carp anglers. Indeed, it has been said that this book has started a new era in carp fishing, and there is definite evidence that many hundreds of anglers have taken up specialist carp fishing since they have read the book. The reason for this is obvious to anyone who reads Carp Fever. For the first time, one of the country's leading carp anglers, Kevin Maddocks, has not only given full details of his own catches, but has carefully described the baits, methods and rigs which have made him perhaps the most successful and certainly one of the most inventive and innovative captors of big carp of all time. No secrets are kept; the reader will find within the book enough bait recipes, methods and 'tips' to enable him to become a successful carp angler at any level he chooses. The consistency of Kevin Maddocks' catches is remarkable; in the past nine years he has caught more than 140 twenties, and 20 thirties, from a large number of waters in different parts of the country. He has, in fact, captured thirties from nine different waters - a tremendous achievement. Readers of this fine new edition of Carp Fever will find it fascinating to discover how a leading carp angler succeeds, and how they can emulate him if they wish to do so. But be warned... reading this book may change your life for ever! CONTENTS Foreword The Big Carp Scene Tackle Methods and Tactics Winter Carp Fishing Bait Memorable Captures Part 1.
