First time at Hudson Grotto in quite a while. They’ve moved most of the ball floats and the map showing where the platforms are is no longer accurate. The ball floats closest to the dock lead to the platform around 23 ft. The white balls on the far side of the water lead to the 65 ft platform. The blue balls on the far side lead down to a boat around 30 ft. The single red ball leads down to a platform around 105 ft.

Visibility was absolutely horrible, 3-5 ft at best. Overheard some people saying that there was a team doing sonar work here recently which kicked things up as well as the ’hurricane’ we had somewhat recently. Whatever the cause, the visibility was really bad.

Got here and in the water by around 10 AM. By the time we left around 1 PM, vehicles were lined up and down the street. You definitely want to get here early if at all possible.
