It's getting scary how few fish are out there.
I've posted my concerns and it just get's worse each trip out. Yesterday should have been a good day. Foggy overcast all morning, incoming tide, a livewell full of eels, gps working dead nuts on so getting around wasn't a problem, but I struggled to catch 12 fish and not one fish bothered an eel all morning.
Water temp 66 so I don't believe it's too hot and they moved out, I think the fish that normally move in for the summer just aren't here. I hope they are somewhere and will move back in come fall, because if they have been removed from the fish stock by commercial/recreational harvest or delayed mortality or bycatch by other fishers, then some tough times are ahead.
I'm almost considering switching back to freshwater, if for nothing else but to see some fish on the end of my line. OK, that was short lived, but man I'm getting frustrated out there pounding away all day for a dozen schoolies.
