Decline

Over the years has anyone noticed the decline in the Jacks in the harbor and the big scools of Spanish Mack ouside the jetties and further out. Just seems a few years back you would see schools of Spanish the size of a football field.

Ive gone offshore 8 times this year since May and have only seen small pods of Spanish just a couple of times, nothing worth stopping on. This is pretty much the same deal for the last few years as well.

The Jacks I run the Wando from HWY 41 to the harbor and have only seen a few small schools over the years, not like they used to be.

What gives, I say probably boater traffic or much of these fish are caught in nets somewhere else when migrating.

In May I caught all my spanish right in the harbor. I’ve seen some pretty good schools of spanish out about six miles from the jetties. I haven’t even messed with the jacks this year. Did catch a big one last year while trolling for kings in the channel.

Man I just haven’t seen them on the days heading in or out like I used to. Fishing on the wrong days I guess.
