No, I haven't actually. Do you think I should give it a try?

Cheers. Yes I think I'm moving around from one mark to another without fishing the same mark in a few different conditions and tidal states. Therefore I'm not learning enough about where I'm fishing. Part of the reason for fishing so many different marks is that I love exploring nearly as much as fishing!

Thanks,
John D.
