Not much to say. I know this mark doesn't fish well during the day but not one single knock all day

Ah well

Well now, I have to give you 100 out of 10 for persistence.

But why oh why didnt you give the rocks by the harbour a shot.....atleast you'd have got a few flatties, maybe even the odd plaice for your trouble.

I kinda get the feeling your a gluten for punishment

its not called the hungry acre for nothing you know

Yeh well the rocks is a spot I usually fish but I got a new rod and wanted to try a few whacks off the beach. Didnt feel like luggin all the gear back to the van and setting up again. I suppose its a mixture of laziness and perseverance that kept me there

feesh
