All Whaler Owners On Long Island

The breach is an opportunity to allow nature to take it's course and flush out the Great South Bay on Long Island's South Shore. All the empirical evidence shows the new inlet is not affecting the tidal range in the bay. Unfortunately some misinformed politicians and bureaucrats are blaming the inlet for recent high tides instead of the normal astronomical high spring tides coupled with the recent nor'easter on the east coast. I can tell you from personal observation the bay is cleaner, clearer, and the birds are working bait fish nearby the inlet on a regular basis. If you boat in this area, now's the time to contact your senator, congressman, etc and tell them to leave the inlet alone. Here is a link to a petition on CHANGE.ORG where you can add your name to the list and read more about the issue: http://www.change.org/petitions/do-no...-old-inlet I urge you all to read it and if inclined join the petition.

The real problem comes fron south wind during the summer that could shoal up the ocean side. last report was the inlet was 18' deep at the deepest part.

I haven't seen the breach since Sandy. I wonder if it's navigable, I'll have to check it out on the next calm day. Thanks guys. 2006 Conquest 235

Schools of bunker set up for about 4 weeks, and one of the best spots by far was Old Inlet. While at high tide it is navigable, the bay side depths are still sketchy.
