I can relate to 2009 being the worst year in 30 years for the one guy. I have access to three 25' + boats and didn't even go offshore once this year 
I rarely even talked to someone that even got a good limit of grouper this year. I also detailed more than a few boats this year that were cleaned to either be sold or downsized to a smaller more efficient inshore boat. Makes me think of the numerous local fishing/boating business that hung it up this year too.....Advantage Marine (Medart), Pirates Landing (Carabelle), Mikes Village Mart (Lanark), & Tallahassee Marine Center just to name a few. Me thinks it's only just the beginning............

The only complaints I have are about the snapper. I don't know many folks that have got into 'em good. I can only hope the commercial guys can share the load for us recreational folks.
