in general, not as many fish seamed to have made it north of the cape this year and i think most people's numbers up this way reflect that. we had them dialed in for about a month and a half, but the weather was unstable and unfavorable for considerable stretches for where they were holding (or at least where i knew them to be holding) which greatly decreased the amount and size of fish taken.
the fact that fewer fish made it as far north as where I fish, and even fewer fish made it further north, the "fall run" was very disappointing up this way. Once the resident fish started moving out (sometime in early october, it was tough to tell because the late september weather was so poor), there really were no concentrations of fish following, and not much bait present to draw in whatever was swimming by.
i pretty much chalk this up to weather and bait patterns, and the slower than average fishing up this way is no cause for concern about the health of the fishery IMO.
