Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Always check that the drainage outlets on the bottom of the mat are clear of mud, gravel, or bankside debris before laying down your fish. Keeping the drainage channels open ensures water escapes immediately, preventing cool water from pooling underneath the carp and maintaining optimal mat hygiene.
