I think the environment(water/sea) is going to change a lot near and long term. I had several conversations last year with my fishing buddies. Seemed like every time I went online or through my own experience, I noticed several posting about different fish in areas that was totally out of the norm. Between the Orcas in Jan of 2012 off the coast of N. Carolina chopping at the BFT's being hooked by the charter boats, YFT's being caught in numbers by the bluefish boats here in NJ while at the same time Haddock being caught in numbers last June 3 on a ling trip I was on, mahi mahi being caught on the beach in Sandy Hook, several online pics of the elusive Purple Hake, one of which I caught on a deep water mudhole trip last August 5th. Gray and Golden tiles being caught just this past winter on a local headboat fishing the mudhole area. Red Drum making a strong showing in the surf at Cape May. I know there were several other species of fish during last summer that were also caught. Just seems very odd, seems like mother nature is trying to send us a message.
