Highs -
This year I took the kids for squid and had a blast
Learned how to fluke from a good guy on this board
Learned how to fish for blackfish and had a blast
Fished the canal more than ever, about 8 trips. Never caught a damn thing but saw a mola break the surface and saw some beautiful mornings. learned a few things by watching others
Lows -
I did not do a single thing right chasing stripers. Never got into any spring time top water action no matter how much water I covered.
Bunker bite never happened for me, had bait but couldnt get a bass.
Eels at night from July through Sept - very limited success. I did better in the past from shore
the wind in Sept and Oct kept me off the water a lot.
I blame myself, some guys had an incredible year, I went right, fish went left.
Past 3 seasons I had well over 100 bluefish without even trying, I just would run into them and kill an hour or so having fun. This year.....2 bluefish ALL SEASON.
Very disappointing year for me but you never learn anything if you are always successful. I have a bunch of new things to try out next year. Have to learn to fish deep off the reefs.
