CARP: Short Session Success - Julian Cundiff

[hnv]

I thought that this book was a little expensive for what it is - a small format paperback at £15.99. It is a relatively new title published in 2010, so I suppose is priced at the 'going rate' for such a book, and is a great little book to take on the bank with you.

 

As the title suggests, this book is all about maximising you time available and using that time in the most efficient way possible once on the bank.

 

Although very much an instructional book, it is not a "this is how to cast a spod" type of book. The tips and instructions assume a certain level of carp angling ability and therefore it cannot be described as a beginner's guide.

 

In addition to the tips on how to actually fish effectively on short sessions, there is a lot of information on organising your home and work life to allow the most productive fishing sessions to take place. It is quite refreshing to read about this sort of thing as it rarely gets a mention in most carp angling books or articles.

 

There is some great advice on buying the most suitable tackle for short sessions and on being prepared for every eventuality that you may encounter on the bank.

 

On the whole, a good read and a must for anybody who fishes short sessions whilst juggling a full home and work life.

 

Recommended - especially for those into mid-week overnighters before work.
