How Did 2000 Shape Up?

Now that most of us are either done or almost done saltwater fishing for the season, how did 2000 shape up compared to last year? For me up in Maine it was slower than last year (which was much slower than the year before) but the fish that I did manage to catch were definitely bigger. If the fish I did catch weren't so big, I would attribute the bad year to supply. Instead, I believe that the weather kept the bait offshore, and so the fish never had much of an incentive to come in to the surf. I would like to hear how others did and to what they attribute their success or lack thereof.
