Match Fishing Staff | Jan 3, 2025

England international Cam Hughes is our cover star for January, the first issue of 2025. Inside he details his winning approach to catching silver fish on commercials when the carp won’t play ball – there’s more to it than you might think to build a good weight, but Cam tells all.

Also in the mag we have two helpings of superstar angler Andy Power, as he delivers his regular diary piece then also details his approach to boosting PVA teabags to tempt winter carp. Ex-World Feeder champ Simon Fry lets us in on his secrets for catching big carp, while at the other end of the scale top canal angler Rory Mason shows how he uses bloodworm and joker to catch skimmers on a tricky commercial. And let’s not forget Will Raison, who has a neat way of using soft hook baits on the Method feeder, while Andy Neal chases F1s on the pole at Woodland View.

With all this and plenty more features besides, as well as our regular features from Matt Godfrey, Kye Jerrom and John Brooks, plus Alex Bones who is testing Guru poles and Nytro rods, a report from our Sonubaits Veterans Winter Cup, two competitions to win top tackle and more besides – it should keep you reading for a while!
