The Worst Spring

Posted by Team Century on 20/11/2016, 5:16 am

Last night was trip number 8 to the BOP for me this spring, trip number 8 without a bite, fishing on average 7 hours each trip totally without the three hour drive return trip 56 hours of fishing.
Varied locations, water conditions, baits, moon phases etc and nothing.
While I don't expect to catch everytime this is really arwful. Surely the state of the fishery must have contributed to this.
I will be back but it will be next year conditionspermitting Im heading west.

That pretty sad all right. I don't know where you are but I'd head northwest weather permitting. At least out west your pretty much guaranteed some kahawai

Certainly has been a quiet spring in the BOP, started well early on with some good catches of snapper for me, but over the last month they have all but disappeared. Luckily a few 40cm + Gurnard have been showing up to break up the monotony.

Indeed, Snapper and Gurnard are hard to find here these days off the beach anyway

I have long believed it is not just the HB where a fishery has declined tp below sustainable levels with a 19th century fisheries management system.
