Why are fish biting now?

The story mentions that warmer water temperatures and changes in fish feeding habits are likely pushing these small species closer to the shore. This means they're more likely to encounter swimmers, leading to these unusual bites. It's a natural reaction to environmental shifts rather than aggressive behaviour.
