You have to upgrade your raiding troops. When I first got to th9, I was so worried, because I was suddenly unable to raid loot like I was at th8. After getting my troops, camps etc. leveled, I started doing even better then I did at th8. Getting your AQ up will help a huge amount also!
Trust me th9 loot is the best in the game. Right now, loot has been tough for everyone, it's a dry season currently.
