Fishing trawlers in Broken Bay

Hi Raiders,

I went out in Broken Bay on Friday 2/10/15 and to my surprise I counted 6 commercial trawlers around Patonga, Flint and Steel and Juno Point. I am no expert on over fishing however, it seems extreme to have so many in such a small area. I came home empty handed after around 6 hours. My concern is that this area will eventually get fished out. Any feedback from other fishos is appreciated!

I did however have some fun chasing large mullet that were busting up the surface. I managed to hook a number of these large fish with assorted metal lures but couldn't manage to get them into the boat before they busted off. Some of these mullet looked to be 5kg plus and they put up a hell of a fight. In hindsight I wonder if the trawlers were hoping on catching them also. Not that I noticed them anywhere near the bustups.
