No fishing blog today, heading up to Loughborough for the Inter Counties Cross Country Championships
Savage Gear Waterproof Rollup Rucksack 40L review - you should be able to find it for around £50, plus how I use rucksacks and what I expect from them
I sometimes found myself ripping my SG Seeker in because the lure felt like it had picked up weed, but there was none on there

Do you tend to concentrate on specific parts of the water column if and when you chase bass on lures at night?

Off to Copenhagen for a lure fishing related meeting, catch you at the end of the week
