I agree with you the sediment that's built up has destroyed the river and back bay. But the last time I fished there maybe 15 years ago for flounder, I watched three cormorants engulf honestly between 30-40 flounder within an hour. They've invaded the rivers and back bays and do a number on anything they can swallow. That coupled with what commercials did to the winter flounder stock dragging offshore in the summer and that marked the end of another great fishery
