Drifting for fluke in the Somers Point back bay...

Got a recommendation on a good trip for ya small boaters. Take 55 to 40 east. Take 40 east to 559 south. Follow 559 till it ends at the circle in Somers Point. Once you get into the circle, exit at the very next exit(from the circle). Follow the road for about a 1/4 mile and on the left is Kennedy Park.


At the launch you will see a fleet of boats straight out drifting for fluke. If you go to the left and under the bridge, it's a no-wake zone. It's a little calmer in there.

Someone takes a 14' Vhull with a 15 hp there all the time. It's a wide open area there and you can always get away from the main channel and boat traffic.
