IMO 5 or 10 years ago most trips resulted in an assorted species of fish caught & consisted largely of the following :- Snapper gurnard trevally rays KY endless doggies an occasional kingi etc However in recent years have noticed a dramatic reduction in the variety of species with a significant increase in the proportion of snapper, along with the sudden demise of scallops resulting in a total ban. EG on Friday we caught our limit of snaps plus a solitary juvenile KY & one off what behaved like a ray but broke off unsighted. Have others noticed a similar pattern an if so any idea of a possible cause ? |
