MrMartin and I go carp fishing on the river Cam and afterwards chat about his books!

Who are your top five carpers of all time?
How about top five carp captures, or even better, top five bivvy babes?
Join Kes and his camo-clad mates in Tommy's Tackle shop to sort out the important carp questions of the day.

Kes has been a camper far too long, but he's determined to prove himself by catching the Fat Lady from St Ives Lagoon. Lying on his narrow-boat bunk he dreams of being an X-treme carper, tackling rock hard waters like Fen Drayton and Wraysbury. Unfortunately his plans are put on hold when he gets involved with a new ultra commercial carp fishery, and caught up in a whole lot of trouble with bunny huggers, and the worst Ouse valley flood in living memory.

Author Martin Lawrence brings the carp world of Kes and his mates to vivid life in this imaginative fenland tale of camaraderie, dreams, opinions, car boot sales, heavy metal, carp captures, antis and disaster.

This totally original book will quickly find a cult following from the legions of carpers who share Kes's aspirations and love of carp fishing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bivvy-Tramps-Martin-Lawrence/dp/1871700825/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=AUTN9R1ZEQUDF
