Gerrys Pro Tip

Always keep a bucket of water next to your cradle before you lift the fish out of the water. Even though the PVC lining is fish-friendly, it can get hot in the sun. Give the cradle a quick douse of cool water right before the fish goes in. Once the fish is safely inside, use the blackout cover immediatelydarkness calms carp down instantly, stopping them from flapping while you get your scales and camera ready.
