Lump off the New Jersey coast
This lump takes its name from the 15-fathom (90-foot) line it breaks, roughly 25 nautical miles east of Little Egg Inlet. The long run buys real mid-shore water: sea bass and fluke on the rise itself, bluefish and bonito over the top, and albie blitzes when October bait pushes through.
