Funny story, parallel to DX clusters.....fishing.


I'm near the shore in NJ and used to fish the jettys all the time.  It was something I used to do to be alone and enjoy the surf.  I was talking with my father-in-law about how in one particular spot the blue fish would get trapped between the jettys and I could stand there for an hour catching one after the other on light freshwater gear.


My brother-in-law asked when the last time was that I was fishing and I told him it had been over ten years at least.  He told me not to bother going anymore....this is why.


When the fish hit now, everyone picks up their cellphones and starts calling.  Evidently you can get easily over a hundred people rushing in to hit a school that is near to shore.  People crowd you, block in your car etc etc.  They told me it's completely ruined fishing along the shore now....pretty much a fishing DX cluster.
