Hi all,

I have herd that the magazine is no more? Is this correct.
I was just about to ask my local newsagent to start ordering Carp Addict Magazine in for me?

Rumours are always rumours but if anyone can put me right.

Thanks.

walker

We've not seen an issue for a couple of months or so, hopefully CA will be back we're all waiting to see what happens... (i think)..

Hmm how strange.

JAFFA

Guys there really is only one person who can answer your questions. Jon Banister is the sole owner of Carp Addict and as such holds all the answers.

Steve Howard, Myself and none of the team on the forum can answer, as we just do not know. Dispite posting the same on other forums and getting slatted for doing so, it really remains the fact, we really dont know

I understand that some folk have e-mailed Jon and have yet to receive an answer, but I am afraid this remains the only route I can suggest to you all.

jon-banister@carp-addict.com

Sorry we cant be more postitive or shed any light on the situation and good luck with all your enquiries

kind regards Jeff

Shame, it's up their with BC as the best 2 mags on the shelfs.

It is very strange.. surely somebody within CA (who isnt called Jon Bannister) knows something.. has to be a valid reason hey?

The Carpinator

if you need to contact him add him on facebook hes always on there..but it does seem weird that no one else knows anything

billy the fish

seems like he may have thrown the towell in after his recent problems???

robvford

maybe so but he can't just bury his head in the sand. if he gave an explanation noone would hold it against him.

by ignoring everyone and everything to do with the magazine he's making a bad name for himself. CA had a lot of loyal customers. what about people with subscriptions? surely they are entitled to a refund.

carp addict has so much going for it. a simple answer before it's name is ruined is all people want.

Michael

anything to do with the credit crunch i wonder?

PeteB

More to do with nose candy methinks... cuckoo!

charlie

what recent problems billy

, the impression i had from the vibe of the carp addict team was that all was goigng really well after the re launch / new format of the mag especially as its monthly all year round now , be a great shame if the mag does go to rat shizer as its one of the best.

also if jb decides not to carry on with the mag is there any chance of anyone else taking it on ie steve howard, jerry hammond. or one of the existing staff .

billy the fish

had girlie problems i think, he mentioned it in his last article , when he found that water that we all dream of, he even got invited to dinner with the owners of the lake.

Magazine..

Due to the recent global financial difficulties we have taken the decision to suspend the magazine. As many of you know we operated on limited advertising. The magazine was re launched at the start of the worst global recession in history which of coarse we wasn’t to know. That said with our limited advertising that we struggled to fill it made trading conditions very difficult.

As for myself having personal problems is completely untrue, I for one have never been happier. So the comment in particular posted by Pete B somebody I held in esteem is complete rubbish. And im saddened that someone who doesn’t know me personally would write that, let alone the fact my family look in from time to time, bad angling!

On a personal note I would like to thank everyone who has supported the magazine over the years. The subscribers have and are being contacted and given a full refund.
I am considering a position with another magazine, and also considering resurrecting the magazine in the spring/summer when the economic situation improves..

You can catch me on talksport on Saturday morning, and on BBC 1 carp angling with griff rhys jones and Gary Bayes in the spring.

But up until that time I am doing what I love best and going fishing!

Jon Banister

whitey

Glad to hear all's well with you Jon and hopefully one day maybe the mag will resurface but until then enjoy yerself with your lovely lady and catch plenty of fish , as for Pete B i told you what prik he is and that just proves it ! He can only find fame for himself by slagging off other successful anglers to make up for his own dismal failings as a long term noddy , talks a good game though but as we all know results speak for themselves , enough said !!

Good luck mate

Michael

Where did Pete say anything about personal problems?

Michael

On another note, thanks for coming on and telling us the situation.

walker

Nice one Jon, all the best, also glad to hear its not all gone down the pan.
Hope you can put together a Business Case to bring in back in the near future..

Cheers

what about steve

does he sleep with the spanish fishies

come out come out where ever you are steve

whitey

Last i heard Steve was having a love affair with Sierra Brava , can't blame him it's the next untapped frontier !!

JAFFA

backlead

so what has happened to Steve Howard in relation to the mag then?

spoke to him a good while ago and he had no idea what was going on with the mag. bad angling when an owner/editor(cough cough) cant inform the very soul of the mag whats going on!

it was more than noticable that once he was made assistant editor, the mag went downhill.

are you really telling it the way it is Mr Banister?

also its good to see you have managed to make your FIRST posting on here a good 2 years after the CARP ADDICT forums birth. no one can accuse you of being a sheep

"So the comment in particular posted by Pete B somebody I held in esteem is complete rubbish"

So you are saying I am lying then..... I may know a bit more than you might think..... cripes!

jon-banister

clearly witey is right pete, its saddends me that i have taken time to defend you in the past!

(I may know a bit more than you might think..... ) so you know more about my life than me, your a [censored] idiot!

whitey

He's a no good lowlife who's full of it , ever wondered why you never saw a pic of him in his articles but plenty of other anglers with fish , that's coz he's a noddy who's ego's bigger than his photo album , met plenty of these prik's over the years who suck up to anglers that can catch and all they do is repeat what advice and knowledge you've spoken and make out it's their own coz they just can't get out of toy town , results speak for themselves ! cuckoo!

JAFFA

Brett one thing that has always baffiled me. Why oh why does a person HAVE to put up pics of there catches or publish pics of the same to gain any form of credibility?

Like most of us, I know some very very talented anglers, who dont even own a camera, let alone have anything published.

Brett, although I respect you as an angler, I have always felt that this particular line of attack against Pete/anyone is very lacking in substance, as we both know you cannot be a member of the BCSG without having some form of valid history in carping.

Baffled

kind regards Jeff

whitey

Well if you're gonna preach to people and write articles on how to fish and what bait to you use then i personally want to see that you know what you're talking about and that means your own results and not others . You're not in a position to comment on my comments about Pete because you don't know the history , he's tried spinless and slanderous comments with me before just to get some sort of notority when i've proven him to be the no good dog he is who should concentrate on his fishing rather than vain attempts to discredit those more able than him , which doesn't take a lot !

The BCSG isn't hard to get into , i've turned the opportunity down many times and with Pete's ability to insert his head inside other anglers rectum's it's even easier and really not a pointer as to his angling prowess coz i know differant .

PeteB

You really are good for a laugh Whitey...

You really think I am bothered by your petty coments? cripes!

The only reason I ever did an article was to help a mate, I have no ego where carp fishing is concerned..... You may think what you want of my carp fishing ability, not bothered, bait knowledge, do you want a discussion......??? let's actually see how much you know on that subjectthen as you seem to think I know nothing if I don't publish pictures of big fish) (through choice by the way)... LOL

Have a nice day...

JAFFA

jon-banister

Well i completly agree with whitey..

If you want to give it the biggun about how good you are on an open forum lets see some evidence of of why you are so qualified.

If you expect to influance kids and other anglers well where is the proof??

If you go for a job interveiw you dont just turn up and say yea i will take the job, i am qualified but you dont need to see my qualifications.

This is exactly the reason i stopped comming on forums years ago....

Pete b has come on here and said the demise of carp addict is because i am a cocaine user, what an utter FART, what utter lies you should be ashamed of yourself, its PEOPLE like you that with your mindless spineless [censored] that is the downfall of this country.

Whats ...
my favorite colour?
my girlfriends name?
where do i live?
whats my local called?

I could go on, but you dont know pete do you, cause you know nothing about me. and yet you can come on a facless forum and make them accusations! Tosser!

[b]POST EDITED BY MAC - Jon by all means come on here and put your point across it's your right to do so

But please try and keep the swearing out of it on open forum.....thanks [/b]

backlead

so then Jonny. no answer the my questions yet?

PeteB

"Pete b has come on here and said the demise of carp addict is because i am a cocaine user, what an utter FART"

It is you that has associated 'nose candy' with cocaine... I prefer to call it 'columbiam marching powder'..... however, if the cap fits, wear it.......

PS..... I can FART for England.......

jon-banister

There are kids come on these sites pete, but you know that dont you, you like to provoke a reaction, then sit back and laugh i have seen u do it before.... your to be pittied not looked up 2, i know some amazingly talented members of the BCSG and trust me u r not one of them.

When i asked on numerous occasions for pictures of u with fish, for articles, you made an excuse, i have asked people who know you for pictures and they reluctantly said thats cause you havet caught anything.

You hide behind your "i dont like to show my picture" disguise........because you dont have em, why do the articles ??? because you want everyone to belive and buy ino it, your a very sad man indeed.

Sorry backlead i only talk to people with real names, im accountable for all my actions thats why i always use my real name, not having a pop but you coulkd be anyone

whitey

Nice one Jon , i know how much time and effort you put into the mag that's why i was more than happy to write articles and features in the first few mags to help it get it on it's feet and free of charge i might add despite other mags offering to pay me for my writings . You gave Pete the opportunity to be in it and this gave him a platform to promote his bait company and self gratify himself , no doubt he bought all the copies most of which litter his bedroom with the pages stuck together . His nose candy jibe was uncalled for and overstepped the mark but then rats always desert a sinking ship , i rest my case !

Jeff if you had read my ramblings with Pete on FW then you'd have seen his slanderous accusations unproved that kicked all this off and when asked to provide FACTS was unable because he was being fed false lies from one of his puppet masters and because i proved him to be the lowlife he is i got banned because he is a mod on that site and never had the balls to apologise . As for me attacking people i've NEVER done so uninstigated as i would never be that iggnorant or arrogant , beleive it or not , check your facts and read back on whatever you have then you'll see for yourself . I am however a man of strong priciples and morals , the first means of defence is attack so if someone wants to have a go at me or my mates then make sure you know what you are talking about as i will prove you wrong , so apart from my spate with pete which i admit i am like a dog with a bone tell me who these others are that i've "attacked " without probable cause or be a man and apologise yourself ?

The BCSG is just not my scene and i know lots of good and capable anglers who belong , it's just Pete's not one of them although why his missus stills puts up with the smell of Happy's lovejuice on his breath everytime he get's home from a meeting i really don't understand ?? I never said anything against those others who belong so please point that out other than my remarks aimed at Pete so i can apologise seeing as you've made a big deal out of it although i can't see where i've had a go at everyone else or the BCSG , again apologies accepted if you've taken it out of context ??

The funny thing is the many anglers that i know in the BCSG also think he's a brownose who's all talk and a prik so i can't be the only one and jon's still waiting for the photos he asked for !!! cuckoo!

And Pete i'm not sure if you've grasped the concept yet but we go angling to catch fish , not to make bait and if you do then make something that works , i don't profess to be a bait guru i just know what works and don't need to baffle myself or others , my results reflect that , FACT coz i've got bundles of pics to prove it so don't be shy ask and i'll give you some then you to can feel the pleasure of a rod bending in your hand rather than your manhood into a bucket of powders !!

JAFFA

I read all of yours and Petes ramblings on the Warehouse and once again I can see no valid reason for you to bring them up on this forum. They are not relevent to the subject and only reflect badly upon yourself. Brett your issues were Warehouse based, so please take it there to resolve them.

Jon Banister. Your right there are kids(as you put it) that visit this site, through the hidden youngsters section called THE ZONE. Although most of them "kids(as you put it)" are now over 16 and most of them either hold down full time work or are in further education. They are actually "mostly" young men

And whilst you two are pulling Pete to peices, let me point out a different side to Pete.

Dean and Pete of UCN have ploughed £1000s into THE ZONE to help and support the youngsters within, by way of regular bait monthly competitions, free tee shirts, hoodies and caps. They sell there bait to the youngsters at a total loss and often a substantical loss and have both attended ZONE fishins, bringing bait and odd bits of tackle with them to give to the youngsters.

We actually have lots and lots of likeminded folk doing the same.

kind regards Jeff

whitey

Quite noticable you never addressed my points when it's there in black and white for everyone to see , I thought you was gonna be man enough to apologise but i was obviously wrong Jeff ?

I mentioned FW to highlight the fact that there is history between me and Pete which he was never man enough to apologise to ( rings a bell ! ) just so anyone intrested in this drivel knows it's not an isolated unprovoked incident .It would have been kept on there but he is a mod on there so had me convieniantly banned when his defence ran out and was being made to look a fool ( sounds familiar ? ! ) . as for me and Jon pulling him to pieces , errr who started it by giving it the biggun' ????? cuckoo!

Of course they've given lots away and no doubt those free tshirts and caps had UCN written all over them , it's good buisness and self promotional , DERRRR !! Any other company would and does do the same to get noticed , blimey jeff get a grip coz you're starting to embarrass yourself by clutching at straws or has Pete managed to pull the wool over your eyes as well !!!

jon-banister

ive just deleted that post, i vowed i would never lower myself again.........

JAFFA

Brett I do not have to address any points(although I dont see any), because most if not all of what you say is not relevent to this posting. Your issues with Pete are Warehouse based, so once again take it back there to resolve it.

Ben

This is supposed to be a forum about carp fishing, sure there should be debate/arguing going on but this is pathetic! Your like a bunch of little girls. If you have problems, sort them out in private messages or somewhere else, not here. Its threads like this why this forum is so inactive nowadays.
Whats the point in having a forum if all its going to be used for is petty arguments.
Sort it out!, otherwise this forum is just going to become totally inactive.

stalker

Well said Ben. But I think you are to late all the adds poping up on here think the forum could be on the slide allready.

Shame the old forum died it was the nutz

Good luck with the future of the mag Jon and Steve
Still willing to buy it if it's published

whitey

Well you're obviously not man enough to apologise but at least your pathetic attempts to distort what i've written in order to discredit me are there for all to see and don't worry i'm sure pete will still give you some free bait . As for pete , he cannot defend the FACTS raised which considering he started this is this whole laughable episode has wound up digging a big hole for himself . I apologise to those reading it but at least we've managed to expose a few home truths and had a nice bit of banter along the way !

Big Ron

Come on girls ...cant we all kiss and make up

Fishing is suppost to be a nice relaxing pass time ..... why all the bitter digs at each other ?? its not as if some has commited a crime or some think cripes!

is it ???

whitey

I make you right there Ron , it's a shame some people can't let their angling do the talking rather than have a dig at others otherwise all this wouldn't have had to be said , anyway i won't start getting revved up again as i'm bored now and plenty of points proved , time to go fishing and may we all catch the fish of our dreams and that includes you Jeff coz i'm sure an unhooking mat's gotta be better for your knees than the floor of Pete's bivvy although i suppose being the caring angler he is he probably lays one down for you ? Anyway i'm wasting angling time " rattling " on , enjoy !!

Big Ron

whitey ....in life there is allways the Talkers ( the ones that talk a good story ) and the other one's that can actualy get out there and Do it
