I dunno, word gets around usually.. guys just sort of meander around, and if they see a few fish caught, all of a sudden its common knowledge..
those places have been around for years, so if there were a lot of fish being caught it would be well known.. You would think so anyway.. After I moved out of Union Beach around 1982, we bought a house in Forked River and lived there until 1991.. I used to keep a close eye on the winter fishery in the outflow at Oyster Creek,, Went a few times, maybe 1 or 2 small flounder.. Never saw anyone catch a striper there in those days.. I heard that one or two very small ones would be caught or perhaps a white perch now and then.. The thing is, the fishing simply wasn't very good, and thats why you never saw many guys there.. one or two at the most..If guys were getting fair numbers of eating size flounder, or catching school bass regularly, it would be a known fact, and fishermen would go there.. I have a feeling power plants in salt water in NY/NJ are simply not all that productive in the teeth of a bitter winter, and thats why we don't hear about it.. I am no expert of course, and I could be dead wrong.. I am far removed from salt water these days, and you guys are much better informed than I am.. I am relying on what I witnessed in the 37 years I lived in NJ,, However that was a long time ago... bob
