1. Had to bag going to cutty.
2. Lack of fall fishing (a trend is developing)

Closing Plum Island 3 weeks early this year because of storms.
The lack of wind and rain free weekends.

My nickname this year was "One Day Late."
Seemed like I was always 12-16 hours behind the fish. "You should've been here this morning" or "Yesterday was incredible" was frequently said to me. Had my last keeper from the canal the night before Father's Day.
Just about all year at the canal was my biggest all-around disappointment this season.

Didn't fish as much as I would have liked to. Didn't get out to the Race even once. Only caught 7 fish, one a wounded blue by hand and the rest were tinker macs..All the sacrifice to get chores done didn't get them all done. That will change next year.

Biggest disappointment of the year
My son Leo did very little fishing on my boat this year.
Little league baseball & pop warner football took up most of his time.
But, His pop warner team went undefeated and have won their 1st 2 playoff games. They play their super bowl in Plymouth this coming sunday.
Charters were very good, did a ton of offshore trips, not a lot of harbor trips.

When I kissed that 32 #er at the canal it didn't kiss back.
Wish I fished more with my friends.
Wish I was able to actully fish with Nightfighter on the vineyard as opposed to just chatting for AWHILE.

Small yellowfin in the canyons. Few over 50lb made for a lot of small throwbacks. Never disapointing to be out there, but constant small knockdowns is like getting into 5lb bluefish instead of 30lb bass....
Never enough offshore runs.
May was good, but June on was a struggle in the surf.
Highlight was 29 Sept 2009 though!

My Spring spots in some of the rivers around MA and CT were not close to as productive as they usually are.

The worse July and August fishing in the last 15-years.
Followed by the best September fishing I have ever had.
Followed by only one night of fishing in October due to working night shift 6 days/ 12 hours. Every three years I lose October due to work. Now that sucks.

My season was non-existent....went out a grand total of 7 times all year......2 of those were the Cutty trip in June. Between Personal and Work related issues just didn't get out.
Can't wait for 2010
