Fished SSP this morning starting right around high tide. Managed 2 shorts and one good run off, on clams. Saw and heard of just a couple other shorts on clams. Guys fishing artificial weren't doing much.
Moved to Ortley for the second half of outgoing. Not a tap in 2 hours. Saw several shorts landed on metals in that area.
Even with the west wind, still 8oz+ to hold. The water looks flat 1/4 mile out, but it's pounding hard from the outer bar to the dunes. 6-8ft swells over the outer bar.
Bird action was minimal and way off shore.
At high tide this morning the water was up the stairs at Ortely and only 20-30 feet off the dunes in SSP. IBSP was closed at high tide. The roads along the bayside in SSP were flooded good and the water was up on the local piers.
