Raritan Bay Changes

[Shamrock Eddie]

If you keep your boat in the back bay it is worth the ride to study the changes caused by Sandy, You still can see where the partially sunken boat(s) are out of Morgan, The channel out of Key port has many high spots you can see at low tide and for those of you that like to blow around the sailboats take a carefully look a lot has changed the mud and dirt from the fill area are spread out a few hundred yards now. Now's the time to scout it out

Good lookin out Eddie. Im sure the whole bay has changed quite a bit. Take it slow out there until you're well acquainted with the new lay of the land.

 

Also, Im sure there are plenty of changes both good and bad to people's favorite fishing areas...possibly different bootom contours and compositions in certain areas. Have fun exploring and be safe:cheers:

Great info Eddie. Thanks for the heads up!

[Palawman30]

Great advice...

 

That goes for the entire coast just about. Almost every inlet has some changes to it and the back bays even more. Guys have to be extremely careful until the new channels are figured out

The spring bass season is sure going to be interesting in the upper and lower bay with the sunken boats and debris...

Google may have updated satellite maps showing changes. Probably available for gps map updates. Cool now i have something to do today.

must be very diffrent.. Im sure there will be few boats that get into trouble with the new lay of the water.. its gonna be an intersting fluke season too...

I cant wait to find the new honey holes cut out by the storm.

The bay is trashed. Duck hunted it for divers along The main shipping channel every longline and decoy line I pulled up was filled with trash bags and shopping bags and nasty stuff all sloshing around the bottom with the tide and current changes

Do you think the 2013 chartplotter software will show all of the changes?

Eddie, I thought you were not aloud to speed near the sailboats.

Not in the channel, but you could get around outside of them. On high tide it was no problem.

 

Thanks for the heads up, Captain. I run my Whaler out of there 5-6 times a year.

They are sunken boats now but;) when fishing season starts they will be "structure"

You know me my boat don't speed around anything;) However I do remember 2 guys flying into the marina late last December after a blackfish trip only to have to apoligize to the Grady we rocked! FYMFers!

I backed down to thirty knots as we passed pedersens.
