Hi there, I have been catching quite a few of those saddlebacks in the lake recently.I agree it is probably genetic,there are so many and no netting for many years.Pity you didn't find the tailor.I have been getting them regularly between 1 1/2 and 2 kg in Swansea channel.Would have been fun on the s1 in that current.I took my mum up to Swansea for a drive Saturday afternoon.The channel looked uncomfortable with that S gale blowing against the runout tide.Hope it is better next Sat. as I have another club day on.
Cheers, Mick
