As I see it most anglers I know are complaining about slow fishing. I also see larger fish coming in on a regular from both boat and shore than in any of the previous six years.

I really think we have all gotten spooiled by the way the season progresses. Schoolies arrive and there are a ton of them, then the herring and macs make it relatively less difficult to catch a decent fish or 20.

Now that the herring and macs have moved on the fishing is becoming work again. this is what is causing the complaints in my opinion.

The fish are here and there and require a decent amount of work to locate. Seems pretty normal for the first week in July.
