Mixed results this year. The spring was the best I've ever had as far as pure numbers of fish. Had tremendous luck with fish in the 25-30 inch range in May and June......literally all I could catch on a few occasions.

Since mid-May my time at the shore has been limited. I primarily fish the Cape, and some of my favorite spots have been cursed by mung lately and have severly hindered my fishing. I'm hoping to pick things back up on the Cape for the rest of the year, and I'll see if I can scrape up a fish or two during my vacation on the Vineyard in three weeks. From what I've seen on the Cape, though, it's shaping up to be a great fall run.

All told, I can summarize by saying few large fish, plenty of small fish, and not much of anything in the last 3-4 weeks. But I'm very optimistic about the rest of the year.
