Your Biggest Disappointments This Season???
 
I will list mine in order:

1. This season

2. This Fall

3. Did not set a new PB!

4. Did not get to use my kayak enough!

5. Did not get to fish with a certain "someone" again for like the 3rd year!!!! (He knows who he is:smash:)

What were some of your disappointments this season???:)

JFigliuolo 11-03-2009 02:45 PM

1. Had to bag going to cutty.
2. Lack of fall fishing (a trend is developing)

ripitsik 11-03-2009 03:48 PM

1, 2 and 3 :wall::wall:. had a better yr in the canal last yr. Other than a few a.m.'s in the spring and a few nights/mornings in the fall, wasnt the best yr

doc 11-03-2009 03:49 PM

loosing a lifetime fish on a knot failure...still cant get it out of my mind...

Slingah 11-03-2009 04:10 PM

the one that got away......:smash:

Plum Crazy 11-03-2009 04:13 PM

Closing Plum Island 3 weeks early this year because of storms.
The lack of wind and rain free weekends.

smac 11-03-2009 05:02 PM

the fall run.

Other than that, this year was great.

nightfighter 11-03-2009 05:13 PM

The lack of fish to be caught at the Derby, again.......

JohnnyD 11-03-2009 05:14 PM

My nickname this year was "One Day Late."

Seemed like I was always 12-16 hours behind the fish. "You should've been here this morning" or "Yesterday was incredible" was frequently said to me. Had my last keeper from the canal the night before Father's Day.

Just about all year at the canal was my biggest all-around disappointment this season.

ivanputski 11-03-2009 05:14 PM

i have two... SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER.... they sucked!!! (*not for a lack of trying either!!!)

Backbeach Jake 11-03-2009 05:22 PM

Didn't fish as much as I would have liked to. Didn't get out to the Race even once. Only caught 7 fish, one a wounded blue by hand and the rest were tinker macs..All the sacrifice to get chores done didn't get them all done. That will change next year.

Biggest disappointment of the year
 
My son Leo did very little fishing on my boat this year.
Little league baseball & pop warner football took up most of his time.
But, His pop warner team went undefeated and have won their 1st 2 playoff games. They play their super bowl in Plymouth this coming sunday.
Charters were very good, did a ton of offshore trips, not a lot of harbor trips.

Ditto and having BigFish/Niko witness even hurt more.....luckily is was my own rigs that the line broke on a BIG line sider.

Swimmer 11-03-2009 05:47 PM

When I kissed that 32 #er at the canal it didn't kiss back.

Wish I fished more with my friends.

Wish I was able to actully fish with Nightfighter on the vineyard as opposed to just chatting for AWHILE.

afterhours 11-03-2009 06:12 PM

not fishing with friends enough and not fishing enough period :o.....

GattaFish 11-03-2009 06:15 PM

This season was a tough one,,,

JohnR 11-03-2009 06:40 PM

Not fishing the prime times - work really $%^#@ me over this year. Spring & Fall but significantly June was a waste.

RIROCKHOUND 11-03-2009 06:43 PM

Small yellowfin in the canyons. Few over 50lb made for a lot of small throwbacks. Never disapointing to be out there, but constant small knockdowns is like getting into 5lb bluefish instead of 30lb bass....
Never enough offshore runs.

May was good, but June on was a struggle in the surf.

Highlight was 29 Sept 2009 though!

fumifish 11-03-2009 09:06 PM

anniversary on the block island trip!!!

OCT 9!!!!!! UGH! :smash:

:smash::smash::smash::smash::smash::smash:

:deadhorse:

:realmad:

:splat:

:lossinit:

justplugit 11-03-2009 09:35 PM

Didn't fish as much as i had promised myself.

Trying to make up for it now.

Gotta luv white water on a cold dank November day. :)

The worse July and August fishing in the last 15-years.

Followed by the best September fishing I have ever had.

Followed by only one night of fishing in October due to working night shift 6 days/ 12 hours. Every three years I lose October due to work. Now that sucks.

stinkyink 11-04-2009 01:34 AM

Not making enough trips out to BI..

The Dad Fisherman 11-04-2009 06:34 AM

My season was non-existent....went out a grand total of 7 times all year......2 of those were the Cutty trip in June. Between Personal and Work related issues just didn't get out.

Can't wait for 2010

not spending enough time with friends fishing.:fishin:

slow eddie 11-04-2009 07:17 AM

the knowledge that my body will not let me do the things that i took for granted for decades. this middle age isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

Rockfish9 11-04-2009 07:18 AM

seasons have a way of evening out
 
so, my only real dissapointment is not getting togther with my son for at least one trip...

decksweeper 11-04-2009 07:50 AM
