Berkeley Supertank

New in 2017, the Berkeley Supertank gives you a fish's eye view! This spectacular 15 metre long and three metre high perspex sided giant mobile fish tank harbours natural habitats and loads of fish. You will see what the fish actually sees from under water without having to get wet!

As part of the show, you will be shown many different types of Berkeley lures and will see how the fish react to them and the different techniques used. You'll learn how to become a better lure user, improve your strike rate and catch more fish next time you're on the water.
