The reports I heard about the trawls the DNR did in August. Which is where they get the numbers to determine what kind of hatch we had. The numbers were low and the hatch is being considered poor. They did see good #'s in July's trawls but the hatch is determined from the August trawls. The good news is the 2010 hatch was average and we will be catching a lot of them this year in the 16" to 18" class plus there are still a lot of pigs left from the 2003 hatch.

Here is the ODNR's official release about the trawls and when they took place, there is no mention of any July trawls only the ones that took place in August they didn't even use the trawls that were to have taken place in late Sept/early Oct. to make their official 2011 hatch estimate, if they did use them they didn't mention them in the article as being used! Read the article in the provided link as they have apparently changed the times for the test trawls.

In 2010 they did the same thing but then made a correction to their estimate that was released in August 2010 from trawls that had took place in July and then used the August trawls to adjust the earlier estimate. This information can be found in the 2 links posted below.
