local blackfishing (Debs/Jones area

Ive been noticing a lack of life on all the local drops Ive made out in the ocean the last two weekends. I checked my logs and over the last few years with similar water temps and conditons on the same drops life was much better. quite concerning as the pressure from the mosquito fleet has been on bass for a few weeks leaving less pressure from the recreational sector. Im not a bass fisherman more than occasionally and i love to bottom fish. Hopefully something changes off next weeks moon, but ill be forced to bring the bass gear now.
