It wouldn't take much, in my humble opinion, to re-establish that fishery but the fishery needs to be managed for it to happen. Won't happen by itself. Plus the economic impacts to commercials, party boats, for hire and recreational angler spending would be significant.

The part no one will want to believe is those whiting were caught in the first week of May , not the typical time they were fished for .
Seems ling fishery that also was a favorite wintertime fishery even only back 12 years or so is also a much better spring fishery now
All the talk of everything moving north doesn’t fit that timeline .
So next question is why such a shift of seasons .
Is it because they are here more than we think ? And actually left alone by the commercial guys who are usually targeting a different species then .
And is the amount of ling and whiting around in May, June really why the giants have been back here at that same time frame .
If no one targets them , no one knows they are there !
