Looks like they\'re all heading Paula\'s way!


The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.

I actually did a story on this subject quite a while ago in the Sunday Sun. the survey where the information comes from is a very comprehensive study done over something like 70 years and is still ongoing. Unlike most scientific surveys used which are only done over a few years. The study proves that north sea cod have moved north in great numbers as the nor5hern waters are now enjoying there best fishing for years. Of course there is also an element of over fishing as well.

well i don\'t know much about habitat and such like but i often get quite a surpise by what other people post.... like tonight, someone asking about pollack?... i thought they were around all year everywhere, they are here. maybe we get what we are not supposed to due to us getting some of the gulf stream? started seeing jelly fish and sand eels around the pier at work tonight and whilst fishing, so the water is definately warming up seasonally.
