Subsurface Journal Volume 1

Subsurface is a 100% independent, homegrown annual publication that looks deeper into the culture, history and future of the big carp scene, both at home here in the UK and overseas. Our aim is to challenge the way carp angling is documented and stimulate a new way of thinking about how our pursuit is represented by challenging the status quo head on and presenting some alternative angles.

From interviews with the old school, as well as the new school, to lads quietly doing their thing in the underground scene, to photographic galleries documenting nothing but the beauty of the environments we are lucky enough to find ourselves in, Subsurface exists to recognize and uphold the spirit that made us all pick up a rod in the first place, shaking up the sanitization that has developed in what is a fundamentally dirty pursuit and getting people thinking beyond the mindless step-by-steps; to hopefully encourage and inspire people to consider what the spirit of angling actually is.

Through a carefully handpicked selection of writers, photographers and anglers we have come together as a collective by returning to the DIY roots of carp fishing by creating a publication ourselves; one that embraces the past, as well as the future and brings back some heart and soul, some appreciation for the environment and nature, and is filled to the brim with beautiful images and carefully penned words and passionate views; written, spoken and taken by the lads that live and breathe it, not the pen pushers and office chair critics.

Compiled with no agenda, no ulterior motives and unbiased and uncensored, Subsurface is a completely independent publication, and aims to deliver the uncompromised vision of carp fishing that we wholeheartedly believe it deserves.

It is a brave new world. It’s time to embrace something new.
