Dredged water spots 1/14/17
Location: Super secret NPH. Spots: Some guy's dock piling Lures: Zman's slim swimz Fishing: Mediocre to say in the least. The 3 dredging boats killed the bite off so badly. I'm hoping that some regulars can chime in here, but it seems like the average grade of spotties has declined quite a bit. I've fished the harbor since 2012, which isn't long, but since then I've noticed that legal fish are becoming more and more scarce. 20 fish days? Never heard of it, but it's probably because I don't know spotties as well as I do other fish.

NPH has definitely dropped off for me. When I started fishing there from my tube around 2000 or 2001, 30 fish days were common. I wouldn't come in until I had 10 legals, granted that was 12" legals. I wouldn't dream of trying that now. This year seemed particularly slow too.

Sad. 14" legals is what I had in mind. There was a time when I did consistently catch a limit of those.
30 fish days is great! I'm going to blame the dredging for yesterday's crappy fishing. I might try NPH again if the weather is too rough to go outside of the harbor.

Nice report. I fish the bays a fair bit, too, and I've noticed it's gotten tougher and tougher to scratch out much in the way of quality OR quantity. Aside from the dredging activity, do you think more people are fishing the bays and keeping what they catch? That's a quick way to ruin a fishery on species that aren't migrating. Not what it used to be even a few years ago.

You kicked my butt that day. I only got a small spotty and a small sandy. Way to go on a really tough day. Maybe you'll catch something cool on your next trip like a BSB lol.
