Challenge Accepted! Our cover feature and the opening chapter of a two-part deep dive with Harry Charrington. Harry reflects on his journey from background presence to industry heavyweight, revisiting his breakthrough moments, early competition days, and the realities of filming carp fishing when the cameras never stop rolling. Elsewhere, we shift focus to the mental game, unpacking the Pressured Water Mindset with nine genuinely practical ways to turn tough venues back in your favour, before heading onto one of the UK’s most exclusive winter syndicates for a right-place-right-time insight into life on the sharp end of cold-water angling. Kieran Hopkinson returns in Escaping The Freeze, documenting a raw, solo winter campaign where resilience mattered as much as location. There’s celebration too, as we mark Herman at 50!—a truly special carp and a moment worth pausing for—alongside a no-nonsense look at how the pros really use distance sticks.
