Yeah looks like a desert with a foot of water over it, structure is wiped out there.That beach used to be that big before all the dredging so I guess mother nature is putting it back.That little jetty does the job they need one on the other end off the point they wouldn't have to dredge anymore.

I have a tip for fishing with diamond jigs. Don't know if it was mentioned in here before.
When there is a lateral sweep to the current, some times I catch fish by tossing it out and working it laterally with the way the sweep is going.
That works when the fish are sitting over the bar. You can also toss it out past the bar, and with the sandeels they will often hit it right before you come to the bar.If that doesn't work I try against the current. You never know where they will be from one day to the next so try different things.

Photo tip- This should be a no brainer since they covered over most of the jetties. You can't keep a bite quiet while posting clearly recognizable background pictures on the internet. So- don't do it. If you do it and your spot gets crowded, don't whine like a little girl in a post and ask why.

Agree 100%. And if you send pics out to a buddy that you barely know just to brag a little how do you know that he won't forward on to 10 of his buddies and then it magnfies. Before long you got 75 dudes shoulder to shoulder fishing a place where you only had it to yourself and a few buddies. Think before you send a pic out.

Instant share of pics and facebook has ruined the challenge of fishing that's for sure.

Tip for early spring - use small rubber to prospect an area for signs of life. If you don't get any action move on to the next place.

what he said^^^IMO only way to fly Also saves small fish from getting gut hooked by the snot slingers

Never understood why they don't make circle hooks mandatory for the snot throwing crowd.

Yes, and low and slow is the way to go.
