You know how to catch carp. Now make more of the chances in front of you.
The rods are out and the rig looks right. But are you fishing where the carp want to be? And will another handful of bait help?
This tactical carp fishing e-book is for anglers who already catch fish but want more consistent results. Refine your watercraft, repeat your casts, diagnose presentation faults and feed with a clear purpose—without going back over your first setup.
12-page illustrated PDF · Free download · No email required
A standalone guide. The full book is coming soon; its release date and price haven’t been announced.
82 pages · Five tactical chapters · 45 images and diagramsSee the detail that matters
Realistic tackle close-ups, lake scenes and clear diagrams, with subheadings and coloured checks to break up the reading.
A plan, not a promised catch
Understand your choices and avoid common mistakes. No rig or book can guarantee a carp.
Beyond your first carp
Worked UK and French sessions, presentation diagnosis and purposeful feeding—not another guide to setting up your swim.
More useful than another tackle-box rethink
Spend less time guessing.
Make more of the water in front of you.
Put the rig where you mean to
Separate feeling the lead down from dragging it. Measure the spot, choose a clear landmark and repeat a controlled cast.
Find the fault before changing the rig
Read the retrieve, compare hooklink behaviour and test a soaked bait. Make a specific improvement rather than another tackle-box rethink.
Make the next change count
Decide whether to stay, recast, feed or move for a useful reason. Learn from worked trips, including the ones without a carp.
Inside the coming guide
From finding carp
to making the next decision.
Five chapters connect the decisions that improve a session. The focus is UK stillwater fishing, with a longer French-trip case, tactical comparisons and useful checks throughout.
Find a better chance
Read the fish, the pressure and the bite times. Choose water you can fish well and keep another option ready.
Get back to the spot
Make the cast count. Check the landing and measured distance, then put the loose feed where it helps.
Make the rig work for you
Look at line routes, hooklink length and soaked bait. Find what needs changing and keep what works.
Make every handful count
Start sensibly, watch the fish and adjust the feed. Compare bait, PVA and naturals, or build a prebaiting plan.
Keep up with the lake
Know when to move, change depth or leave it alone. Follow worked UK sessions and a week in France.
Turn the next trip into useful progress
A next-decision card, fillable tactical session plan and review, plus further reading. Practical references without another beginner setup course.

Is this the right next step?
For anglers who catch carp
and want to improve.
You should already be comfortable setting up, making a controlled cast, playing a fish and handling it safely. This isn’t a first-ever casting course.
You don’t need expensive kit or a box full of complicated rigs. You do need a willingness to watch the water, check your tackle and ask what each decision is meant to achieve.
Starting from scratch? Our Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Carp Fishing is the better starting point. Its free sample is available now.
Two books. Different jobs.

The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Carp Fishing
Get ready for your first trip: tackle, casting, bait, fish care and the words anglers use.

Refine the fishing you already do: pressure and timing, baiting accuracy, presentation faults and adapting your plan.

A few things worth knowing
When will this e-book be available?
The full guide is coming soon. There is no confirmed release date or price yet. This is a preview, not a checkout or pre-order page. You can download the free sample now.
Do I need the beginner’s guide first?
No. This is a standalone book for anglers who already know the basics. You can buy it on its own when it launches. The first book is there if you want a clearer starting point, not as required reading.
Can I buy the two books together?
The plan is to offer the books separately or together once both are available. Start with the beginner’s guide; this second book will follow later. Bundle details and pricing will be confirmed nearer the second launch.
Is there a sample of this book?
Yes. The free 12-page PDF on this page is from The Guide to Catching More Carp. It includes eight complete illustrated excerpts, plus the cover, introduction, contents and closing page. No email address is required.
How is it different from the beginner’s guide?
The first book teaches the foundations. This one assumes you can already set up, cast, land and care for a carp. It focuses on finer decisions: reading pressure, aligning feed, diagnosing presentation faults, comparing bait changes and adapting a session.
