Summary

This month we see the return of Robin Dix and we take a lovely trip down memory lane. We delve into Robin's time on Frensham and also Wraysbury before discussing his return to the car park lake, decades later. The car park is a venue that Robin holds dear to his heart, having caught some of it's most prized residents before they became such iconic targets for so many anglers. Robin also chats about his love affair for making his own bait and even discusses some of his old recipes that haven't changed for decades. We also delve into the impact of digital content overload and how this can sometimes impact happiness, plus we also debating the looks of the carp we love to catch and what characteristics we like to see. Enjoy.
