The Marmite Method
Match Fishing Staff  |  Sep 06, 2017  |  0 comments
Jamie Hughes explains how, when and where he likes to fish paste… For this month’s feature I have decided to talk about my thoughts on a method that is both loved and equally hated among match anglers. Paste fishing is a real ‘Marmite method’, that I feel is often not used enough in bigger matches but for some unknown reason seems to have a much stronger place during club and small open matches. For me it can be a vital method to have in my armoury and in certain situations there is no other method that can compete. Jamie uses either green or natural coloured paste.

Frenzee Fxt Match+ 8ft 6in Feeder Rod On Test
Match Fishing Staff  |  Sep 06, 2017  |  0 comments
Assistant editor Jake Fowles gets out on the bank with Frenzee’s FXT Match+ 8ft 6in Feeder rod. Over the past year or so I have declared my admiration for short-length feeder rods. Of course, these pint-sized weapons are not a particularly new thing on the scene, but in my opinion – and evidently that of tackle companies alike (judging by the amount of these rods cropping up in their catalogues) –now more than ever they have a place in the armoury of the modern match angler. Not just since the rise of F1 fishing, either; yes, the soft action of these rods does lend itself perfectly to targeting species such as F1s, as well as skimmers, but in actual fact they are so much more versatile than they are often given credit for.

Joe Carass gets out with a brand-new Maver pole that really impressed. Working on Match Fishing magazine means that I get to see a lot of stuff before it actually comes out. Most of the brands out there are usually clambering for page space to make sure their new and exciting product gets in front of you guys. With the new Signature Pro range of poles from Maver, though, it was different.

Into The Lion’s Den!
Match Fishing Staff  |  Sep 05, 2017  |  0 comments
Andy Oldham explains why snags needn’t be as scary as they first look! It’s a situation that crops up on many of the more established commercial fisheries around the country… lakes full of fish, but the carp are only too happy to reside in any snags dotted around the lake. These more cautious fish have been caught time and again during match hours and know that the snags offer them a bit of safety. Hooking fish in snags is rarely the problem. Fish tend to feed with confidence when they are holed up in the safety of the snags so bites are usually easy to come by.

Heronbrook Margin Attack!
Match Fishing Staff  |  Aug 22, 2017  |  0 comments
On Friday I attended a Cheshire Maver Club Match on Heronbrook, I drew peg 10 on Meadow, a good peg but with the wind blowing down to peg 1, and the peg being flat calm didn't fancy it too much, Spent the first 30 minutes on the feeder, didn't have a bite, had a look on my shallow line, had a couple of F1s, but then nothing, tried fishing deep shallow again you would nick a couple then they would dissappear, think the peg really needed a ripple for them to settle properly. About 3 hours into the match had about 30lb and was going nowhere, watching a few other anglers catching steady shallow. At this point in the match I decided to get my head down and fish for carp, as it was the only way I had any chance of getting back in the match. I started feeding groundbait some big pots of EFG131 mixed with Luxus Active down the edge and fishing paste over the top, and then started catching some decent carp, the stamp of the fish were averaging about 6lb so, Spent the rest of match down the edge on corn and paste, feeding another big pot after every couple of fish, to finish the match with 15 F1s and about twenty proper carp for 155lb 8oz, which was good enough for second in match, just behind the winner who weighed in 159lb.
