As far as goals, I've had a crappy season. Alot of the water I wanted to explore I didn't. Some of the techniques I wanted to work on (tube n worm, fishing the deeper ledges and rips) I didn't. I lost my electric motor for about a month and couldn't work the rock islands the way I wanted. Most of all, I wanted to hit the mackerel run off Boston, but it was pretty short lived and weather didn't allow me a decent shot at it. I wanted to rejoin the 30# club and maybe go to 40, but I blew the one really big fish I had on. Well, it broke off... not much I could have done.
Basically, I didn't have the time on the water I'd like (who does?), so my one trip out a weekend was golden so I pretty much stuck with stuff I knew. Did some new stuff and fished a couple new areas, but not alot.
But I've had a great season so far since I've enjoyed my time on the water and caught fish more consistently. I improved my live bait finding and fishing and my touch on fishing soft plastics was pretty good all year.
But as you said, the fall run is still ahead and hopefully the best fishing is yet to come.
