Gummies and Whiskeries

Is anyone else seeing many more of these of recent times when metro fishing, had only seen one gummy in 15 odd years of boat fishing metro and yet over the last few weeks have caught them every trip .

So not only better dhuie fishing over the last few years but now these are increasing in numbers as well

Babies

Just wondering how many of the gummies caught and kept lately have been pregnant. I caught one last friday inside the james service reef and after deciding it had a date with a plate I bled and gutted it straight away and found at least a dozen live babies inside which I promptly released over the side and they all swam away fine.
