Oneabung - Good question and difficult one to answer. I think our expectations have risen so much since the introduction of commercials that everyone expects to bag up all the time. When you talk to fishery owners with some expertise they reckon that all commercial waters follow a cycle of approx 7 years before they will need to completely revamp the venue, net / restock etc. If this is correct then all venues must follow a familiar pattern of 2/3 years brilliant fishing for stockies then 2/3 years of mixed success with larger and much cleverer fish followed by 2/3 years of slow decline. Because we live in a want it now society this fuels the short interest levels of todays youngsters who traditionally were brought up on tuff canals and rivers . Ultimately the future is in our hands but i,m buggered if i know what the future holds. Robbo
