Worst year in the last 5 for me. I don't know if I would be that quick to be jealous of the boat guys though. Have been on the beach a bunch of times this fall and the fish were just out of reach, boat guys hooking up. Have been on the beach an equal number of times, an armada of boats, and no one was hooking up. Just soaking hundreds of bunker all day with to takers. Too many boats can put those fish down. It also seems apparent to me the numbers are down. Anyone who cant see that is an idiot.
