Is it me or does it seem slower this year?

Out EOC Friday and guys were getting fish. Bite was on for a few hours in the morning. There was a massive fleet out there. It was a little bit of a cluster eff. We blew it and hung too far south for the good bite. Got a little north and there were hundreds of shearwaters sitting and waiting like the rest of us. Whales were going bonkers doing the tail slaps and breaching. Saw a guy in a 26' Grady CC land a real good fish. Guys on the radio seemed to be landing fish in the 60' range. Saw another guy hookup, fight and release a 50ish fish solo, always impressive. I'm 0/3 this season, but this was at least encouraging to see some fish hitting bars. Bizare they havent erupted onto the SWC/PHB area with all those makerels. Was out there recently too and it was a ghost town. Happy hunting. We'll be out again this friday. Hopefully cutting friday afternoon.
