Gerard,
I fish both inlets (Jones on my boat, Moriches on a friend's). Take Jones, extend the West Bar across to the east jetty, and you have Moriches. Jones you pound out to J1 before bailing, Moriches you take one look at the breakers and know immediately. The clarity of the water in Moriches is amazing - 7-8 feet and you can see bass chasing fluke along the bottom. Very cool.
Great marinas up in some of the creeks - Sennix is very nice.
Overall I would say Moriches is significantly worse than Jones - and you don't have the luxury of ducking into Debs it it gets hairy on the way home...
