Welcome Aboard Iceman...
We all have no clue. That area seems to have been void os many fish this year including bait fish. All I can say is that southern Monmouth County and all of Ocean County have been on fire when it comes to bait this year. The blitzes are a welcome site and tons of fun landing huge blues. We all are waiting for the big girls to show up as they are a hit and miss for now.
I hope this helps a bit. But if you can get down to some of the southern beaches it will be worth your while.
Happy Catching
Paul
