Maine was weird also.
Not a skunk by any means, but spotty in a place that usually on June moon tides is fish after fish. No Baitfish around either. However there were fish in all the summer spots already.
I think the combination of the cool weather and large rainfall amounts have made the conditions such that the baitfish do not yet need to come to the esturary mouths to feed and therefore the predators don't either. I think if you had access to satelite photos that showed the plumes of water coming off the major rivers they would look quite different than normal. All the stuff carried out by the rivers is what the filter feeders come to get when they show up in rivers or outside the mouth. This year they can still feed offshore, at least that's my guess.
