Far from a wasted opportunity Mark.
The account was very much tongue in cheek and reflected the nature of the day out, very relaxed and just a day out on the bank. Graham and I discussed the "type" of day we were both looking for and as it turned it, we achieved it! Try it, it's fun! /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif
I have a germ of an idea for a future article similar to your thoughts but on my current Throop form, it will consist of 99% frustration.But I do concur about those tactics. I'm not able to get down there for the many short sessions at the right times of day, which the locals use to good effect, but whenI do drive the 150 mile round trip, I typically spendthe vast majority of my time wandering and looking and occassionally, eventually, casting a line. Actual fishing time is usuallyvery short!
