Report: A fabulous mark that produced a great days sport. Very comfortable fishing. The ground is very mixed and in some areas it is easy to loose large amounts of tackle. We fished peg 42 to 49 with 49 throwing up most of the fish but also accounting for the most lost tackle. Spinning tactics were a loss on this day but I am assured will work here most of the time.
