rjimmer Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I seemed to remember a British record of 851lb caught be a Mr Mitchell-Henry being caught off Scarborough, just checked and I was spot on. An inshore netter caught 4-5 at 6-7lb off Chesil Beach last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Dare I say Global Warming? Not so many mackerel for them to chase down here this year. Tuna were caught in the 1930's when the sea temp was lower, they were following the vast shoals of herring as were most of the North sea fishermen, perhaps Herring are on the increase !

Lampwick Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 A few anglers have caught a few Bonito off The North Norfolk coast this year whilst fluffing for Mackerel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Herring stocks disappearing we're given as reason for disappearance. A fisherman friend based in Southwold (Suffolk) regularly gets into big shoals of herring but aside from smoking for kippers they have little value today as the public just don't want them or more to the point don't know what to do with them. Perhaps this is why tuna etc returning? Also a very interesting article in the Times last week reported increased CO2 levels having a beneficial impact on crops and marine life including fish stocks. Also Icelandic cod stock have recovered and Antartic ice increased by 115 billion tons last year - add this lot up and maybe VW were really doing a lot of good!!! Heh perhaps the world in healing itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
