Last week of April through mid-May was fantastic fishing skinny water.
May-Mid-June very good.
July and August were the strangest months in 30 years. Usual spots that have produced in years were dead. I had to drive 50 miles to an old haunt to get quality fish w/consistency.
Sept, Oct and early November were either skunk or excellent.
Bluefish were scarce; I had 1 cigar but eel all season. I have many dead eels in freezer awaiting rigging.
Back injury on Nov 11th resulted in me using crutches to walk.

Losing weight and exercising so I won't be sweating crisco next season.

	1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN. I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock. 2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.
