From a surf fishing standpoint in New Hampshire 2011 was just awful. There has been a steady decline in the catch since 2005, with big drops the last three years. The only saving grace in 2008-20010 was a run of good size fish in the fall. This years fall result were about 10% of the 3 prior years.
From the human stand point it wasn't much better. Half the nights I fished alone because people just quit going due to so few fish. People I usually met along the way weren't there this year. Our club numbers are also declining and I just returned from fishing the Tri-state in RI where the group numbers were way down. While I still love being out there at night it's not as good a time as it was.
