Summary

Mike and Mark are back again and in episode 15 they delve into the topic of pre baiting. Yes it's good for the fish but what challenges does it present for a fishery owner, syndicate etc. The issues of claiming swims and telling others about your plans certainly divide opinion on some waters.

As well as our usual ramblings we have a new feature called "whats in your bag" plus we touch on the rise of huge carp around the country and last but not least we have a special guest interview from Tom Last. The last man to ever catch the huge, current British record carp the Parrot.
