No bite No fish

[Cuz]

I fished on a good party boat from Belmar. I have since heard the day stunk for the whole fleet. I had two friends fishing on other boats from two other ports, AH and PP reporting the same results. One boat fished north where we were. The PP boat was on the Axel Carlson reef all day.

An old timer one time told me that blackfish hate noise and vibration. He said that all the sinkers on a party boat banging the rocks causes them to shut down after sitting a while on one spot. He reasoned that a smaller boat like a six pack or private boat will always out-fish a party boat. Any comments from others on this subject?
