I have found if you just keep casting back to the fish you will end up pissing the fish off. That is when the fish will bite. I've staid on a bed fish for more than 6 hours once. From time to time I would leave and give the fish a breather. This would normaly be when the fish would take off for a longer period of time. Then I would come right back and through to the bed. The fish destrouded a ton off trailer off mying that day. I never did catch the female! She is the larges fish I've ever see.:-( personaly. Every year she comes up onto the same flat as well. I have not seen here yet this year.
