We avoided the flotilla for the most part. Early we focused near the "No Wake" bouys and trees at the north end of Bermuda Flatts in 28-32ft of water picking up 4 and losing 2 just inches from the net. Moved closer to Indian Point and had 3 fish in about 15 minutes, then picked up a crappie here and there in 16-22ft of water.
I noticed in another post where the comment was made about how boaters would fish an area for a few minutes and leave. We saw the exact same thing. We worked 2 areas for about 3-4hrs each.
