The size/weight of the fish this year, as in past years, may have a direct connection to whether the net draggers had removed most of the pogies from the region in question.
If the bait is removed, the fish will be leaner and will have to work harder to food. It doesn't mean that they won't bulk up on mack, squid, sand eels or juvenile herring in the meantime but that they won't have food as readily available as when the pogie pods are in.
