Carping Mad! Books explained.
In a world that has seemingly gone mad with all this politically correct bollocks and people that identify as lampshades etc we give you the Carping Mad! books.
The Carping Mad! books are the most unique books (based around carp fishing) that you can buy, please, let me explain!
They are a unique combination of some of the finest carp in the land and some of the most bat-shit crazy stories (all true) you'll ever read in any book, let alone a book which is fundamentally a carp fishing book, all written in a way to make you laugh.
For some reason, everything seems to happen to me. The good, the bad and the indifferent! A lot of stuff has happened over the years and people kept saying, "you've got a write the stuff down" so I did! Before I tell you some of those things here's some of the great fish that have come way, including Two Tone, which at the time of capture was the second biggest carp ever landed in England. The books also include a successful campaign on Frimley Pit3 (Big Fully pictured below). There are 6 Norfolk 40's and total of 100 UK thirties across a variety of waters, but that's only half the story.
So, we have enough carp for the books to be classed as a carp fishing books, but what about the other stuff? Well across the three books all sorts of things have happened! Such as being offered a blow job from a transgender in New York, a lodger's suicide attempt, a car crash where I ended up being cut out of the car and ultimately got my butt fingered by a doctor. An 800 mile journey to try and shag a dwarf in Thailand, it didn't go well as I nearly ended up getting spit-roasted by two ladyboys! The drug dealer who was murdered behind us at Walthamstow reservoir. Setting fire to Chillham Mill (yep the actual lake!) Plenty of dating disasters and a story where I was having "adult liaisons" with a bird who was screaming out loud and the born again Christians (who were visiting next door) heard every word! The BBQ incident where someone fell onto the hot ashes and needed 7 weeks in hospital after. First Norfolk 30 caught whilst in the middle of "an adult conversation" A near drowning incident and (some say) The greatest ever wind up in Carp fishing where I announced my engagement to Ruth Lockwood (of Yateley angling fame) in Carpworld. The list is almost endless of funny tales. However, the books also have some dark moments and the odd sad tale that has happened along the way. They are a story of life's ups and downs and are the tale of just an average working man who never gave up on his dreams, no matter what shit came his way. So by no stretch of the imagination are they just another carp fishing book.
The books also follow my passion for travelling and the worlds greatest band, Iron Maiden! So, we have tales from all over America, Europe and Asia. Luckily, somewhere along the way, I luckily ended up having some fishing trips with Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden! There's also a trip to France with Eastenders star Scott Maslen AKA Jack Brannen and finally we catch plenty of other species too including a 300lb UK caught Tuna, a 150lb UK caught Sturgeon, double figure barbel, 350lb Arapaima, 120lb Siamese carp, so again, more than just books on carp fishing.
Finally, all the books are 350 pages or more and offer great value for money as I've held the price as low as possible as they never were designed to make money, just to make people have a laugh. You need to read them, to believe them!
The first book is sold out and now collectable. There's only 25 copies of Carping Mad3 (the second book) left, and half of the new book, Carping Mad5 have sold already. We are currently doing a deal for Carping Mad3 and Carping Mad5 for just £40 plus postage, details of that are on the Home and "buying options" pages.
