Catch the December issue of Match Fishing

Making the front cover of the December issue of Match Fishing is Shimano star Paul Holland, who shows us his tricks when it comes to catching skimmers on the pole in the cold – making the right decisions at the right time is key! He’s at Barston Lakes for the day to demonstrate but his tactics apply all over.

Also in the mag this month we have features about how to catch bream from big gravel pits more associated with specimen carp, as we join Kevin Tipton at Kingswood Lake near Cannock, then Glen Picton shares his secrets on catching fish in deeper, open water and Mark Richardson visits The Glebe to catch carp in the cold.

There’s more from Rob Perkins who tackles a tricky low and clear River Soar, and we follow England captain Will Raison through a difficult match at Gold Valley, plus you can win two of the new reels he was using!

Our regular features include Mark Malin turning Venue Detective at Tunnel Barn Farm, Joe Carass with some topical tactical tips and Cam Hughes, Andy Power, Kye Jerrom and John Brooks relate how their month has gone. There’s a little more from Paul Holland as he answers our quick Last Cast questions and we’ve also got the stories and results from our last three Match Fishing matches of the year, at Meadowlands, Lindholme and Makins, plenty of tackle on show and the chance to win a Bait-Up rod, feeder rod and reels bundle from Nytro – that would be a nice early Christmas present!
