The competition clearly went down a storm as we received over 4,835 entrants and reached 175,552 people in just six days!Tim Crofts, a school caretaker, was the lucky winner who visited the Match Fishing offices today to collect his mega prize.

Joe Carass gets out on the bank with the superb Pro Natural range from Bait-Tech. Bait-Tech somewhat bucked the trend last year when it released the original Pro Natural groundbait. In a marketplace dominated by 2kg carp mixes, producing a blend for silver fish and natural venues was a bold move. It is a move that has paid off, though, and Pro Natural has been a huge success for the brand, proving to be extremely effective for a wide range of natural-venue situations.

Cameron Hughes has won the Drennan Rive Silverfish Festival with an impressive 112b catch of roach and skimmers over two days. This is the first year that this prestigious event has been run at the prolific White Acres holiday complex in Cornwall. The 78-strong field included 20 invited anglers from France, the Drennan Team England squad and a host of other top names. The event was run as a float-only competition with a 13m pole limit and strictly no carp, crucians or F1s counted… although more than a few were hooked in the unseasonably mild conditions! The top five anglers all posted two section wins but it was Cameron Hughes that stole the show.
