This is an important part of our NJ/ NY fishing history.......

Was taking about this with Fin the other day.....he was relating how these were fantastic bluefish grounds.......this was back when environmental regs were more lax....and they dumped acid in the ocean a few miles off the coast, NY Bight area..........

These drums eventually rotted from the salt....and the acid rose to the surface.....creating an eerie, milky white area of dead water......

But it wasn't really dead....the baitfish, bunker, anchovies, etc, used to try to hide there....unfortunately with the water being so white, their profiles stood out more clearly....and they were easy pickings, for bluefish or any other predators.....

So here's one situation, where a curtain of dead water...became an interesting place to look for fish.....
