Where have the fish gone

A story not told by many charter skippers!!!

In recent weeks we have not only lost out to the poor weather but also a real noticeable decline in fish to catch.
This subject has been raised on all the recent trips. We have waited patiently for the Cod and Whiting to arrive and are still waiting!!

People were saying the waters are too warm, then too much fresh and now all are beginig to ask what else is left for an excuse?

My feeling on the matter are that the waters of the Bristol Channel are now too clean for the scavenging fish that once frequented our waters.
Years ago there was a flourishing Herring fishery, where did they go?

We now here of tropical species visiting our waters, why is this?

Not enough sewage in the water?
Many including myself have come to the conclusion that the waters are now too clean for the scavenging fish !
What are your thoughts on the matter?

Also can someone give me the TRUE reason why fish do not feed when the wind is in the EAST, and is this the case the whole wide over?

I look forward to any comments on the above subjects.

If however you are not out to fill your boots with loads of fish and to slaughter our dwindle fish stocks, but to have a relaxing day out with good banter with your mates then give us a call to arrange a fishing trip onboard ‘Kelly’s Hero’
Best regards truthfully yours Skipper Dave
