The December issue of Pole Fishing hits the newsagent shelves this Friday and has some great articles to get stuck into. 

Alan Scotthorne continues his illuminating Ask Alan series by solving problems on subjects as vast as margin fishing, feed quantities and coping with clear venues.

There is also a frank post-match analysis with Drennan Team England superstar Des Shipp after a disappointing World Championship in Croatia.

There is also a detailed article on canal fishing with Jon Arthur, who goes back to his roots to show you the sport you could be having with squatts and casters.

Pole Fishing is in the newsagents the first Friday of every month and also available in digital form for Android and iOS devices.
