Backing off...

Having pushed it hard since the closed season I feel its time for a short break. The level of effort required to locate and land fish, even at night, has been beyond  anything I've known and we thought the last couple of years were difficult! When it went southerly a few weeks back with the water warmed by the heatwave our hopes were high but it seems it's never that simple in Bass fishing - which is probably a good thing. So the plan is to sit out the start of the springs that have just begun, sort out my gear, regroup and hit it hard next weekend when I plan to travel for a change of scenery and hopefully some improved fishing...
Update, Conditions looked too good to back off so went out and..had some pretty good fishing, ah relief !!
