I don't see why they couldn't come back...if the conditions that existed when they were solid producers returned. The problem is we live in a different time now, with significantly higher fishing pressure and management of our water bodies with different priorities. Given those factors, I'd suspect only a few hidden gems to mount any sort of return to their former glory. And even that will likely be short lived until someone decides to go back and check them and word gets out in the age of Internet.
