Lost Marks

#1 Post by Richie07 »

Returned to a mark last night I usually fish, first time back since last November. It used to be a great spot with a very large area covered with rocks and boulders, not easy to get to, I'd planned to fish from low water up as it's good then, but now due to the Winter storms it's wiped out and is now just sand, nothing left and totally covered, feel a bit depressed as it was one of my favourite spots and threw up a double figure Bass for me. Anybody else experience this.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!

Ya,a lot of our beaches have totally changed since the storms,beaches that used to fish good,are now featureless wastelands,while other marks are fishing well when they used to be mediocre,swings and roundabouts i find...a lot of relearning has to be done after this winter ...
