Fishing Fox on the Abbey Lakes complex in France I soon realised I was up against some of the smartest ducks I’d ever encountered! As soon as they spotted my bait boat setting off they would surround it and whilst one positioned itself in front of my AT Microcat to halt its progress, the others would surround the boat taking turns to climb aboard and pillage the hoppers – it was a sight that had to be seen to be believed!
One day, whilst relating this story with Dave, he told me of some covers he was developing which would totally cover the hatches and make them ‘Duck Proof’………….now, these I had to see!
A couple of weeks passed then Dave called to say he’d put a pair of covers in the post for me to try out which was perfect timing as I was due back out to Abbey the following weekend.
The next day, a parcel arrived and I quickly opened it up to reveal the prototype ‘Hopper Toppers’ which were quickly packed away in my Microcat carry bag.
A few days later, set up on Fox Lake again the moment of truth arrived as I sent my baitboat out ont the lake, the scene of numerous ‘baitboat massacres’ and as expected the ducks headed straight for the boat! However upon arrival, you could tell by their reaction that they were totally confused as there was no food on view, so after a few moments spent surveying the situation they turned away in search of their next victim – the Hopper Toppers had excelled and the ducks left hungry!
So there you have it, the maiden voyage with the ‘Hopper Toppers’ proved an immense success saving the day so without reservation I would highly recommend them to anybody who owns a Microcat!

Hi Dave,
Hope you are ok.
I would just like to thank you for the bait boat covers that you supplied me for my Angling Technics Mk 3 bait boat. Without them my fishing holiday to Abby lakes earlier this year would have been ruined.
I fish out in France quite often through the year & I heard the bird life was making fishing particularly difficult out at Abby, as they would jump onto to the bait boat and eat everything that was in the hoppers on the journey out to the spots, even taking out the rig and causing some bait boats to sink.
I can honestly say that your covers solved this problem, as they are a perfect fit for my bait boat and they totally cover all the hopper.
Also, they are fantastic for using PVA bag, Stockings or stringers in wet conditions ie (rain) as the covers keeps everything DRY.
I will never go anywhere with out them.
Thanks again, I will certainly be showing all my fellow anglers this product.
Cheers
Gerrard Williams

Hi Dave hope this helps
Now anyone who uses a Remote control boat in their fishing will at some stage encounter Wildfowl problems, Let me explain further, last winter whilst trying to use my Reaper Bait boat in France the ducks were jumping onto the back of the boat and quite happily having a feast whilst the boat travelled to my chosen area.
The problem is not only that obviously the bait was not reaching the spot but I was more Concerned that my boat would sink under the combined weight of the by now gang of ducks trying to grab a free meal.
In the end the boat could not be used and my fishing results were suffering.
I was put in touch with Dave Wright of Wright Tackle and the product he offered me was surely heaven sent.
Hopper Covers to snugly fit my Bait Boat.
A bit obvious you may think, but these are made to fit each particular make of bait boat and look the nuts. First return trip to Abbey lakes in France and I upset the Duck population no end.
After chasing and peering into the boat they turned away every time.
Problem solved and in what must be described as difficult conditions I managed 8 carp to 36 plus. The Hopper Covers had performed superbly and I know that without them I would have struggled to fish effectively.
So Dave, I thank you for producing a product that actually does, Exactly what it says it should do.
