This year was hampened due to knee issues, part of which has been resolved. I did fish, but only a fraction compared to prior years.
I did manage to do some fishing at 2 of my regular spots. Duxbury did turn out as good as I had hoped, but walking the Powderpoint Bridge was a killer. The canal turned out to be my salvation. I fished the week before I had knee surgery (9/22) and was in cow heaven in the ditch. I took off 2/3 of October and was able to work in a few canal trips for both low and high tides, and managed my season's best on Columbus day: 45" fattie. I am not "hanging it up" yet as there are still fish around, and I still have some vacation days left.
