thanks Bryan,
i stand corrected,,,,,,,,,,,,

but am still not convinced that a crash is emminent.

more like a population fluctuation; perhaps, next year the YOY
index will increase marginally, or spike upwards, or continue its downward spiral.
it all seems to be part of the species cycle~~ which is always subject to how we, nature, and weather muckx IT up!!

only time will tell, and it seems that this was an odd year for
S-B changing thier spots a bit. remember how gray/rainy this summer was,
lots of barometric pressh, and foggy, and funky cloud and tidal patterns early on and well into Sept,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i must say though~~

this was my biggest year of three. not too many years, i know, but
i caught bigger fish, lost more monstahs than last year, and the residents and travelers were right on time this year in the 3-5 places i've been able to document over such a short period. the honey hole was on schedule down to the tide and time from the previous 2 years.

that's from 14" to 43",
from The Hahbah to Cape Ann,
from Stripers to Boos to adult pogies to p-nutz to macks to herrings

a more subtle difference from the previous two years is less of a BITE.
this year there were NO 0:45 to 1:30 long fish till yer arms ache ~bites when and where they were "supposed to be". i prolly just missed them, since work cut down my fishing windows by at least 1/3.

i am sure that many catz got into sum of those sick blasts!!!
you know, a fish with every cast,,,,,,,,,,,or 4 with every six casts.
HUNGRY and hounding the beefiest eeeeeeels of the bunch!!!
