If you've read Dave's first, highly acclaimed book, 'An Obsession with Carp', then you'll have a bit of an idea what to expect from this new release. If you haven't read it, then this will really open your eyes to the world of 'specimen' carp angling. The obsession still burns, although Dave has a modicum of control over it now, but the rewards are now amongst the most sought after in the carp world. This is a book that will amuse, amaze and astound you - and hopefully inspire you, with chapters on Conningbrook, St.Ives, the Secret Mere and many more... Take care as you go, and beware the brambles!
