Sonosailor,
There are still tons of conch in the Bahamas. Granted they're not as easy to find as they were twenty years ago but we still manage to get our fill of conch every year. We remember the good spots but they do move around so they may or may not be in the same spot the next year. You need a grassy bottom and fast moving water for the best conching spots. Last season we got lots of them in Normans Cay by hanging onto the dink and letting it drift through the inside anchorage on an incoming tide. A couple of seasons earlier there weren't any there. Of course the locals go miles onto the Banks and gather them up using a hookah. The price of conch (if you want to buy it ashore) has not increased greatly over the years so I guess there's still lots around.
