its funny what passes for "good" fishing in the last year or two..... anytime somebody catches more than one er two fish, we think they had a good trip....

VT, I agree, I caught some fish in the spring too. But the simple fact is that from late July through the end of the year it was DEAD. The worst I have seen in 25 years of fishing the area. I'm sure there are people that still caught fish when I didn't. But the fact is that while I'm no sharpie, I know what I'm doing and consistently catch when there are fish around. There were lots of fishless trips the last two months. While fishing in any area over two months is anecdotal, I for one am very, very worried about the fishing.

This basically sums up how I feel.
