	MARTIN CLARKE QUESTION OF THE MONTH:

	Q: When will the next Richworth DVD be available? A: Well I know there is still plenty of film work to do but hopefully it should be ready before christmas 2010.

	MARTIN CLARKE TOP TIPS:

	TIP 1: Check to see your hooks are sharp before each cast. TIP 2: Wear sunglasses to look into the water rather than looking at the water. TIP 3: Be the first to use XLR-8 on your lake.

	WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?

	There's a few big'uns I've got my eye on so i'll be targeting them. I'm on the waiting lists of some very special venues. Continue writing for Carpworld and keep plugging away at my next book.
