Why does this place suck???? It's such a nice place! Good access, plenty of structure, several nice rips that form, it's got that nice inlet near the point, it's right next to Clinton harbor, which is a major estuary. Is it just me? ....or is this place just garbage???

I'm pretty new to this site....is talking about a spot that sucks site burning? Lol

 

Anyways, I've probably fished hammo a total of 17-20 hours so far this year. Good tides, night into morning light, sunset into dark. And nothing. Not a bump or swirl. I don't understand it as last fall I did very well there and caught fish until thanksgiving

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.....

Yeah, sort of, but with a well known spot the concern is more about daily updates when it is producing...some spots are not well known and it is usually better if they remain that way. Many places are seasonal and if discussed extensively ,especially if they are small, it can be a problem.



Moderator is the final word on any of it, but anything that will lead tens of thousands of viewers on this site to believe "I should go there tonight"... or "in the fall" is probably not in anyones interest.

the jetty looks like perfect bass water, fishes like a skate-infested swimming pool. here's my take on why....

 

the water coming out of clinton harbor never really comes over that way - it goes out, then mainly east, so the point doesn't benefit from its proximity to the harbor, marshes, etc. the water that does rip around that point is coming mostly from a mile long stretch of nothing - empty beach with very little structure, just sand, nothing that holds bait to get sucked into the rip. passing bait sometimes gets stuck there, and at those times it can fish very well, but its not a funnel for bait like other places can be.

 

so if you're a bass, why would you hang out there when there are a half dozen tidal marshes dumping out into the sound within a mile of you, deep water, wrecks, and reefs galore to your south and east, flats, and a deep channel to your north, etc.? bass like moving water because it helps them eat, but there's gotta be something there for them to eat to begin with, and at hammo that's just rarely the case.

I've done stuff I ain't proud of, and the stuff I am proud of is disgusting.

Dood - if I was a bass, i would just swim into the river and chomp on bunker. Yeah it might be warmer, but I would pig out and then go lay in the deep water behind the shoal.

Yeah, I guess I never really considered that. It makes sense. When I moved to Clinton this winter, I was excited for all the new spots to learn, but man, it kinda sucks here. Not a lot of good, accessible water from shore here, and the spots to the east are tough for access.
