TUNNY IN ACTION | YFA
The thing is that they are still running up the North Sea just like in the olden days. Sadly, no one at the moment is fishing for them.

As each fish carries the price of a house, that surprises me
The North Sea was full of herring in the old days, what are these 'new' fish feeding on..pouting?

A few years ago there was a program on TV about it. There was a guy off the west coast of Ireland fishing for tunny and the fish that he caught were tagged with devices able to be tracked from satellites. Over the next few years these fish were tracked on their global travels and they ran up the North Sea and into Danish waters just like the olden days. Then they run north of Scotland and back south off Ireland. Even the timings of the migration were the same.
As for herrings. About fifteen years ago I was in Jutland near to Esbjerg. There are some inland salt water lakes connected to the North Sea by channels and these channels are used by herrings every summer to access the lagoons. The locals said that there is more fish than water at the time the herrings are passing through those channels.
Really, all that has changed is that there are no herring drifters these days. It was the casualties from those massive drift nets that attracted the tunny and was exploited by the anglers.
Occasionally anglers fishing off Scarborough and Whitby in summer hit massive unstoppable fish. They are still there Geoff. Every summer. Just waiting for someone with deep pockets to fund a mission
