All about the 250 mark!

I'd have to cast out and wait fro tide to come in to get that far out!

Lots of good advice above. The only thing this non-expert can add is sometimes it pays to spend a bit of time if it is a regular mark and recce the beach over a low spring tide to see where the features are.

If I wanted ray, more distance would be necessary but even then we get them on our surf beaches at 40-80 yards invisa fishing line.

Alot of marks only fish well in certain conditions try and fish a mark in different conditions,times,tides and if you catch remember what it was like.

When i was a kid fishing with my father he would never fish where there were no worm casts showing.
The beach down below where we got caravan is absolutely bare of worm casts and flat but many catch bass with bait down there, i have only had a doggie once on bait and nothing with lure.
Where i fish agree its definetely tide times & conditions within a a short length of same coast line and different marks they are all completely different.

I foul hooked the only ray i have ever caught with a redgill about 50 yards out, thought i dad hooked a rope tied to seabed, but when mowed further to side to see if would come loose felt a strange couple of tugs on line, rod bent and pressure on and of and moving slightly finally landed, hooked it on back right where tail joined.

Works some beaches yes but others like ours or chisel there’s no difference no features at all but being able to acces navonics so easily has become a game changer IMO especially with the likes of chisel ???
