I've known Al for a long time and had the pleasure of fishing with him back in the day. It's great to hear Al speak, he still has the drive and passion and he deserves every success chasing the fish he wants. Nice 1 Al..
Great podcast. Really shows his passion for carp fishing - lovely stuff Al - thanks for sharing your journey. You ever want an adventure this side of the pond, drop me a message. That carpworld with Martin Herbertson on the cover (issue 4) was my first carp mag ever too.
That died sometime in the late 2000s I think. There are still a few of that generation left in there but very few and far between now. It's still a mega lake with an impressive new stock coming through.
