TC contributor and Bait-Tech sponsored angler Craig Mortimer documents a weekend session that started off his year off with gusto. After being at work all week and suffering from a dose of the man flu, I started to get cabin fever and the only cure for me was to get the rods out. Off I scuttled with my van loaded and soon found myself on the way to a local day-ticket water where I have been targeting a stunning fully scaled mirror, which should be around mid-thirties now. With an early finish from work on Friday, I was fortunate enough to turn up at the lake around 3pm.

Finished in a cult and current DPM styling, Aqua has launched a durable, waterproof bedchair cover constructed from the ever-popular and astounding Aquatexx material. Featuring a quilted interior fabric to help thermal insulation qualities, it is ideal for the winter months when an extra layer of protection is required and it also helps to protect your bag from the usual wear and tear while out on the bank.
