    Default Great Hatch!

    We caught about a dozen of these and smaller.. We had a couple of 7-8" and a bunch 8-9"... All around the Islands. While you catch some of these every year, they were quite plentiful over here this weekend. I talked to 2 other boaters that said they caught an unusually high number as well.

    I don't know what year these 6-8" fish are from, but I'd say it was a better hatch than most other years when we are catching so many, especially while trolling.

    They are from last years hatch. I caught and released 57 of them over the weekend. Looks like last year's hatch is doing well

    That is always good to see! Does anyone know if there is a chart anywhere showing the hatch rates over the years? I sure would like to see another hatch like 2003.

    Good news! I didn't see any of those little guys but did throw quite a few back that were just plus or minus of that 15" mark, which are from 2 years ago.
