Match Fishing - June 2024

What's in the June edition of the best selling Match Fishing Magazine

Newly crowned World Feeder Fishing Champion Michael Buchwalder is on the June 2024 front cover and inside you can read his account on what was a dream weekend for the MAP sponsored angler. Not only did Michael win individual gold, his Ireland team also won the team event to give him a double gold medal haul. In this feature he recounts the week practising right through to the two match days themselves and it’s a fascinating insight into fishing matches at the very top level, with all the meticulous logistical planning and tactical planning for the fishing that goes into it.

Also in the June issue we sat with Daiwa backed Adam Richards during a match at Barston Lakes, which was day two of a five-day festival that also included other venues that anglers fished during the week. Adam didn’t have the first day he wanted and was looking to bounce back with a good result to keep his festival winning chances alive. There’s also part one of our popular In Conversation With series and this month David Haynes is chatting to England feeder international and NuFish boss Mick Vials. Plus, we have features with Andy Kinder, Joe Carass, Ben Holmes, Darren Lewis, Harry Bignell and Jack Barwick as well as regulars Andy Power, Matt Godfrey, Tom Pickering and Kye Jerrom.

There’s also plenty of tackle and bait in New Gear as well as more detailed reviews of the budget friendly Westlake Xpanse 10ft and 11ft feeder rods, Daiwa’s ultimate long-range reel for feeder fishing, Vass’ top-of-the-range chest waders, some new pole rollers from KND and a margin pole from Middy. Finally, we’ve got bundles of NuFish pole floats and line worth £359.70 to give away in our latest competition.
