What a week it has been for features! The cold weather is truly making its mark with Sheffield and other areas in receipt of snow. Typically this is always a tough time for angling as the 'change' is upon the country. However, once things have stabilised and the fish have become accustomed to the cold the fishing should pick up again. The features have been tough and in a very short space of time the weather really has turned against us.
The Commercial House seasonal competition fished on the Kennet and Avon canal. The first really hard frost greeted the anglers who turned out for this Christmas match. Conditions were bright and clear making some areas fish very hard. It was a tight match with only four and a half ounces separating the top three anglers.
The week's open match results from Lincolnshire's Westwood Lakes. All matches this week were switched to the more sheltered Kestrel Lake and anglers found it difficult to present anything. Tuesdays open was won by the in form Ron Roberts using a flavoured small inline method with double dead red maggot with Marukyu 130 ground bait from peg 21. Second place Paul Quinton used similar tactics to the winner but late switch to a maggot feeder saw him have a good last hour.
MAP is offering a whole new way to organise and store your pole’s top kits. Alex Bones took an instant liking to the new system – here’s why. I love a gadget, fishing-related or otherwise, so when Mike Robinson, the man in charge of developing this new product for MAP, showed it to me I was an instant fan. It’s simple – a hard ABS case roughly five feet in length with a zip holding the two halves together and an EVA liner designed specifically to keep up to eight pole top kits in place for transport and storage.
