It’s been my observation (& shared by a few others I have spoken to) that Super Storm Sandy had a dramatic impact on the clams beds of not only Raritan Bay but Romer Shoals and the False Hook Bar. Ever since then the spring stripers bite on clams has been nearly non existent. So I’m assuming the lack of clam forge has also effected the winter flounder population.
