, under the conditions, locations and tatics, ie. daylight fishing, little surf, shallow clear beach/water, smallish baits/hooks its as much as i be expected, did note that the fish were very close, 30/50m. and most were male, it has become clear that the main spawning time is around here is march/april think it would be better to have the closed season now? as it seems to be the peak time, by may/june most breeding is over is over, i think it would be better for the fish and anglers??
