Marv Wait looks at how to make the most of fishing the public waterways, which many anglers shy away from too often. However, with enough effort, it’s possible to unlock some of the jewels. When many people talk about fishing big waters they often refer to large, windswept gravel pits and the like. However, most fail to notice that canals are some of the largest carp waters in the country.

Joining our team of bloggers, Nashbait backed angler LukeKennard tells us when and where his love for fishing started. . . My first fishing experience was 17 years ago, now age 22 I’m hooked and cannot get enough of it.

For as long as there has been fishing I am pretty sure there has been night fishing, and as a result, there has always been a need to keep comfortable on the bank throughout this period. Over the years, roll mats, lilos, sun loungers, canvas and metal structures all have been used to sleep on, and in more recent years we have seen a fundamental shift to level flat-bed chairs with all manner of luxurious and comfortable materials ensuring you the best night’s sleep on the bank. We have seen it all, so I thought, but that was until I went to Trakker! Shape is one thing all of the above beds have in common, boasting the typical and traditional rectangular bedlike shape – and why not, I hear you ask? Well, take a look at the first bedchair to break the mould and bring to the market a revolutionary oval system. First and foremost Trakker is renowned for good beds, and having had great success and gaining huge popularity out on the banks with the Levelite range you can expect extreme comfort, unrivalled support and, of course, a flat profile, which is definitely becoming the norm for obvious reasons.

As the name would suggest, this One Night Stand bivvy is perfect for the short-session angler, as well as being more than suitable for the longer session. This compact and lightweight one-man shelter weighs just 7. 5kg, ideal for the angler on the move and for transportation. Constructed with a 5000 hydrostatic head 210D cover it also has an added three-quarter storm peak, offering plenty of protection from the elements.
