Is this a regular problem then, it used to be like that when I was a kid, I would have to order a week in advance but nowadays its never a problem here or I have never had a problem even on the days of the big comps

I've seen the rag free swimming like this too, when walking out on big low tides - dropping their 'milt'. They'd be so vulnerable to fish - but could it be they do this at this time because there is a lack of preditors ?
