You have to sing ALIVE ALIVE-O to get the fish to come out to play
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!

I take my boys out to the fishmongers there every now and then, was watcing the fishing on Wed afternoon to evening. There was loads of macks caught floating pieces of squid, seemed a bit crowded but the only people catching were floating in the mouth of the harbour.

As for your other issue......best talk to a professonal!
