Flats fish ?

I can't understand why someone isn't catching a few stripers on the flats. Maybe they are not talking?
Anyway I keep reading reports from Sandy Hook & Raritan Bay. Fish up to 15lbs are being caught on Clams.
I think most are local fish. Also that the Hudson has a lot of spawning fish. I think less & less stripers are coming from the Susky flats. At one time it was the major spawning grounds.
Looking for opinions on this thought
I am going to try the flats in the next couple days. Maybe I can start something. :)
Les who did not catch a striper this year!

schoolies indeed. . . but even they ain't real fired up about hitting my lures. Biggest concentration of marks I found was right at the southern boundary at Sandy Point. Looked real fishy there in about 48 degree water. Another batch of littluns off Rocky water almost 49 but only in a very small patch. Mostly found 47 degree water with no fish marks. Off color but not real muddy.
