Match Fishing Magazine February 2024 Zurück Ausgabe

If it hasn’t been wet and windy it’s been freezing cold, making any sort of fishing on any venue very difficult so far in 2024. On the front cover we feature Nick Speed and inside you can read his top advice and tips for catching on snake lakes when conditions are against you. There’s an art to getting the most out of your peg at this time of year and Speedy is a master at it so there are plenty of tips to take away from this one to help you at this time of year.

We also have Alex Dockerty fishing a live match at Lindholme Lakes in early January on a bitterly cold and wet day, to see how he approaches a feeder and bomb match. Alex has an enviable record on the feeder and bomb as well as at Lindholme, so seeing his approach, his timings and his overall thinking as the match progresses is not to be missed.
Also in this issue we have features with Matt Parsons at Todber Manor, part one of David Haynes in conversation with Matt Godfrey, Grant Albutt fishing the maggot feeder at Moorlands Farm, Phil Canning pole fishing at Meadowlands, Richard Chave tackles a tricky Kennet & Avon Canal, Dave Coster is roach fishing in the Fens and Graham West is using bread for carp, but not in a way you’d expect. We’ve also got more from regular contributors Andy Power, Tom Pickering, John Brooks, and Kye Jerrom.

We also have all the details you need for our 2024 events so if you’re interested in entering the Shimano Aero Leger Cup, any of the Sonubaits veterans matches, the Match Fishing Subscriber Classic or the Garbolino Club Angler of the Year here’s all the info you need.

On the tackle front Alex Bones gets to fish with Garbolino’s new 10ft and 11ft Essential Legend Method feeder rods, we take a look at some excellent luggage from Preston Innovations, there’s the New Gear section of course and finally you could win £262.45 worth of smart Milo luggage in our latest competition.
