Your not looking at the same thing I was looking at. Last year & this year after the dredging starts just go down tide of it once they start it's all over the place. Did you notice some of the Fluke with scratch marks on them I never saw that before. Last year we had a lot of north East winds clearer waters yes but it was short lived. I remember all the blue water inshore it only lasted 1 week. Right after that dredge went through the same thing happened again sand all over the place again. Years ago this time of the year you could find False Albacore & Bonito off the beach's. I have not read any reports about that happening in a very long time. Right after Labor day usually the SH reef used to be packed with Porgies whens the last time you have seen that happen. Yes you still get them but it's not like it used to be. South wind is a very common wind for this time of the year last year it was very uncommon north east winds for summer month's. I don't know much about central Ocean City but south winds have been around in July & August almost all of my life & that's a very long time of fishing & wind watching. I only hope the government runs out of money to continue the dredging & I think you will see the results if it does.
