Mike I really hope you're wrong. This is a good YOY but we will not see these fish , even at 16" schoolies for 4 years. They will not reach 20# until 2022 or 2023. A 36" fish is estimated to be 12 years old and that's about 20#.
The time to mitigate the losses is now not "close the barn door after the horse is stolen."

No boat, back in the suds.
