Big-Water Bream Steve Ringer visits the famous Furzton Lake in Milton Keynes for an insightful day's bream fishing "It's always nice to visit different venues and while Furzton is only about 30 miles from my home, I don't actually get the chance to fish here very often.

After six years fishing for Matrix Dynamite Trentmen, Tom Scholey is moving on…. I have Rob Perkins to thank for getting me involved with the then Fox Match Dynamite Trentmen. I was first invited to join the team in January 2011, after a few good guest performances on the RILMAC league on the Fossdyke – although again, Rob should really take the credit for this as he showed me how to fish the venue! I still remember my first weekend fishing for the team – it was in the Sensas Challenge at Packington Somers and Barston in March 2011. I was honoured to wear the T-shirt that Rob gave me (even if it was a little too big for me!) My performance, as I remember it, was less than heroic, somewhere near the bottom of the section both days – but things could only get better! The next chapter was the Division One National on the New Junction Canal.

Garbolino and Dynamite backed ace Alex Dockerty is to join the Garbolino Lindholme team on a permanent basis. Starting in June, the 21 year old Doncaster ace will become Lindholme’s resident angling coach, as well as offering his expertise to customers in the on-site tackle shop. Alex said: “ Unlike many sports angling coaching seems to be very limited in terms of the number of people offering their services so hopefully this will be a way to pass on my knowledge of the venue and help others in the way many have helped me over the years. The plan is to offer a multitude of sessions ranging from group days and evening classes to a full day’s one to one tuition.

Five-times world champion Alan Scotthorne looks at targeting quality fish in the cold and explains why a plummet is your best friend! At this time of year on commercial fisheries the target fish should be firmly on the bottom, so all that slapping and shallow fishing has almost gone out of the window! This is when the trusty plummet becomes your best friend, so here are a few tips that should help you get the best out of this simple device. Feed little and often - the fish will often still respond to the noise of bait hitting the water. Understanding the contours of the bottom of the swim you have drawn is of the utmost importance. I’ve watched anglers plumb their swims in a matter of seconds and this is possibly one of the biggest mistakes made in fishing.
