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.
