Nothing you read applies to Jersey fishing. Same goes for the "fall feeding" frenzy, you have better luck running into a susquach

Sunday morning it looked like the water level had just dropped another foot or so based on the damp line on the shore. I've seem from a lot of scuba diving there that the majority of the larger fish tend to run along the ridge of the first drop in about 20-30 ft of water because what little flats there are always had some plants and baitfish just above/adjacent to the drop in the 0-15 ft depth range. Now I see areas that i had only seen diving exposed and the aquatic plants are cooked. These same flats are where all the clambeds are. I can't imagine this bodes well for the larger fish as the shoreline and shallows disappears and it becomes more like a bathtub than it always was. For those of you who know the scuba training platform (remember Gene O.) now you can see if from shore when the sun is right. Cant be more than 6 feet of water over it and a few years ago it was 22 ft depth on the deck of the platform. Anybody know whats going on ?
