Swen,
I'm sorry to inform you ... there is no antidote for VFR. Like I said, I'm sorry, but someone had to tell you. It is conceivable that with the brush getting higher, and the yuck stuff growing thicker, that the fish just plain didn't realize it was you doing the fishing. You simply blended in to the background. It's a terrible thing, that VFR, but once a Viking, always a Viking!
