i'd say average, too. didn't get out as much as usual, especially in the fall. catch rate was about normal, though size of fish was down a bit from the last few years, i think primarily because the weather and my wife's work schedule really didn't line up for my "big fish tides" at all this year.
had a good trip to Cutty. Not a ton of fish or favorable weather, but good company, and good ribs.
had a great trip to BI. Again, not a lot of fish or favorable weather, but good company and found/was shown some good looking areas for return trips. Dropped one good one, but the ride out there that night was the highlight of the trip. May try to get in a commando trip out there in early November if the weather cooperates, if not I may still go and just hit PPP
. By far my favorite place to fish and just be, even though my success rate is much better at home. if I ever win the lottery, that's where you'd find me.
