The second edition of the new 'improved' Improve Your Course Fishing opens and closes rather curiously this month.
Kevin Green (and therefore presumably ed-in-chief Richard Lee?)appears in his editorial, to nail his colours in no uncertain terms to the mast on a recent 'Bertie' debate that we have all shared passionately on FishingMagic.
In his opening piece, Kevin promises that in the next issue "Matt Hayes is back with advice to get you more bites, we'll detail an explosive groundbait and arm you with tips to catch stillwater barbel on the surface!" (Page 5)
Maybe significantly the issue ends with Chris Yates talking us through a thrilling session float fishing for barbel on a cane rod and centrepin.
Can editors really be allowed to ignore/ straddle so blatantly the chasm of opinion that exists on barbel husbandry? If in the eighties the AT or AM had simultaneously run articles on how to kill/ safely return pike pike there would have been an outrage!.
Surface feeding barbel? How many has Chris Yates caught off the top?
