The May issue of Match Fishing is out now!

May can be a great month for fishing, particularly on commercials where the fish are waking up and starting to properly feed after the cold of winter and spring, and cover star Andy Kinder proves this with a masterclass on the art of fishing the margins, proving you can catch carp even when the edge seems too deep.

There are plenty of different tactics on show inside, with some top young angling talent showing how it’s done, as Fisho champ Brad Lucas shares his rigs for catching F1s shallow, Tom Edwards does the same on the deck with hard pellets and Roame Frizzell gives a great pellet waggler demo, fishing shallow in deep water. Then we have Wayne Sharman revealing his biggest edge for bigger weights of carp on the Method feeder while Vince Cross shows how to catch more on meat.

This month Venue Detective Michael Buchwalder visits Meadowlands Fishery to investigate its superb silver fish sport and Darren Cox relates how his bid to win the Iberian Masters in Spain for the second time went.

We also have regular diarists Andy Power, Cam Hughes and Kye Jerrom telling how their months have gone, Joe Carass sharing his advice for the month of May, there are on-the-bank reviews of the latest Guru Aventus R rods and N-Gauge Pro reels, plus the chance for three readers to each win a reel, and some exciting new groundbaits from Mainline Match. 

There’s also a great big bundle of Dynamite Amino Original bait to win and much more to enjoy, so don’t hang around, get your copy now.
