E-ZINE - Nash Tackle

I can’t believe it’s early January as I sit at my desk
writing this whilst looking out the window at sunny blue
skies, mild temperatures and fish constantly rolling and
bubbling in one of the ponds at Nash HQ.
It’s even harder to believe that only a
few weeks ago we were hit by freezing
temperatures and snow. With this sudden
burst of good weather and a serious lack
of angling on my part so far this winter, I
didn’t need telling twice to get out and catch
some carp. As always with this time of year
my carp fishing tends to consist of short
sessions, on high stock commercial type
venues. The reason being, I want to catch
fish! For me size is not important at this time
of the year, it’s all about getting the bites,
keeping active and catching a few carp.
Prior to Christmas I managed to get out a
few times with our main man Oli Davies and
shoot a couple of features, including a hectic
24 hours at Chestnut pool in Bedfordshire
where I managed to land over 20 fish.
Unfortunately my fishing time will be limited
over the coming months as “show season”
is upon us. The first weekend of December
saw the annual Carp society’s winter show
at Sandown take place, and once again it
didn’t disappoint. There’s always a great
buzz at Sandown as it’s the first “big” show
of the year. January through to March sees
several of the other “big” shows take place
and once again Nash will be there in force
showing off the new gear for 2013. Working
LIFE @ NASH
on the shows means lots of hard work,
long weekends and a lot travelling, but all
the effort is more than worthwhile. With
the Norfolk Show, the carp spectacular at
Brentwood, The Big One at Farnborough
and the brilliant Carpin’ On at Five Lakes, all
taking place over the coming few months,
it’s going to be a hectic start to 2013 but as
always I’m looking forward to it and can’t
wait to get going.
I’m also incredibly excited about the new
Great Northern Angling Show, the guys up
North have been demanding a show closer
to home for years and finally they will be
getting one in March, and a special one at
that. The majority of you guys are probably
now aware that my good friend Nick ‘Reedy’
Maddix recently left us and is now living “up
north” and working for the Great Northern
Show angling team which also includes
Nash consultant and good friend Jamie
Clossick. I wish them all the best on their
venture and I’m sure it will be a great event.
So if you’re visiting a show over the coming
months be sure to come over to the Nash
stand and say hello to the team. I look
forward to seeing you there.
