I didn't have any disappointments
I set the bar low

too hard making a living this year and not enough time to fish, maybe next year will be better

I had no disappointments, it is all good when you can go fishing.

 Well said Paul. |

I had set a goal to catch a striper over 30# from the kayak this season.
I have been haunted for the last 2 years by the loss of a very large striper that towed me around for what seemed like an hour.
Got to see it up close and even got my hands on it but slipped away from me.
This year I only got out to fish from the kayak a few times, caught a dogfish and a couple of blues.

I had 3.
This year I gambled, changing things up, trying to key in on areas and conditions that would have a chance of giving up a true giant. Here's what ending up happening.
Was fishing a rocky point on an island with a real bad swell. Hooked a real heavy fish on a giant dead eel. Def. a bass as it did multiple head shakes, did the whole bull dog thing, would not get off the bottom. After 12 minutes (which is rediculously long to have a bass on, but I always look at my watch when I hook a good fish) I had the fish beat, up on its side, saw the thing, then a massive swell washed the fish from left to right about 20 feet cutting the mainline on a large boulder. Nothing I could do. It felt like someone ripped my heart out. Absolute mean and ugly pig that was lost. I would have been able to hand up all my gear and move on to another sport after landing that fish. This same thing happened again a few weeks after.
Weeks later, fished the same spot, opposite tide and opposite wind. My father hooked a fish that weighed 38# on my boga, which he landed in minutes. The same time he hooked that fish I hooked another behemoth, completely owned me, hugging the bottom. Tried picking its head up, no success, backed off the drag to let it run higher in the water column, no success. Fish ended up getting tied up in rocks and breaking the swivel as it must have gotten jammed between 2 rocks. After landing other numerous nice fish my father hooked another tank that once it figured out it was hooked never turned back and broke his line.
Given that I hardly ever break large fish off, this has been continually haunting me. Hopefully I can get keyed in on that same window again next year, and get those fish to run a different direction when hooked. Nights like those keep you heading back!

No regrets this season, but Nahant SUUUUUCKED! Time to find another spot north of Boston. I do work 3 minutes from Winthrop, though...
Plenty of good fish for me, got a 2# brookie, which tasted freaking AWESOME!!! I think the only thing that I missed was not getting a wolffish.

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