My season?

[american spirit]

I'm in agreement with Ross. For me, from shore, north of Boston has been tough. I've also had some strange things happening during trips (Equipment issues, boaters flashing me with floodlights).

I will just echo what everyone else is saying, a pathetic year from the surf. North shore has been a dead-zone from every one of my usual fish-producing spots. Practically zero bait on the beaches, only a few small fish from the rocky spots. Commercial guys are not even in the usual cow-laden coves up here.

The squid have thinned out and the bluefish have once again for the second year in a row neglected to check in around these waters.

At this point I am just trying to remember to enjoy the other wonderful aspects of the sport such as fantastic sunrises, wild-life close-encounters and coffee-shop commiserating with my sharpie fishing buddies who are also having a crappy season.

Surf is always the first to feel the pinch as the schools get smaller-same as the 80s crash. By the time the boats feel it... it's usually too late. Might take a little longer now with all the fish finding technolgy which wasn't available in the 80s.
