I think anyone who does a bit of sea fishing from small boats or even the shoreline will have noticed the steady decline in fish over the years but this year seems like a total disaster for fish stocks. Here on the East Antrim coast there have been almost no bait fish shoals ie sandeel,herring mackerel,whiting so definitely no shoals of big fish only decent fishing is the resident pollock around the reefs and even they are scarce . What's it like where you are.

My husband fishes for mullet at this time of year. This time last year he had already caught 3, but this year hardly seen any let alone caught one. He thinks it is because the spring was so cold that everything is delayed. We do pest control for a living and wasps nests are also a lot slower starting this year.
