Alright guys this question was asked on another forum and thought it was quite interesting ,how do you guys think this unuasually cold winter will effect the upcoming lure season .sea temp where i fish is about 7-8 degres but guys on the east coast are looking at alot colder .what are your opinions on this?

 

[Tom H 2]

its the future generations it will have impacted on I think (the very small juvies will have taken losses)

 

[Mark Davies]

yes tom the small juvies will have taken losses but we sould not see that untill 4 to 5 years time than if we donot have a hard winter for the next few years then we will have some good fish stocks in the few years

 

[Simon Clapham]

But didn't last years/year before juvies suffer badly..........maybe a whole year group wiped out in some areas......now thats gonna give us issues.

The commercials rape the breeding size fish, the weather cuts the fingerlings. Not good indeed
