Lump off the New Jersey coast
Named for the 19-fathom curve — about 114 feet — this lump sits 31.5 nautical miles east-southeast of Little Egg Inlet, one of the farther bottom rises logged off the central coast. Sea bass and fluke hold the slope; the surface belongs to bluefish, bonito, and false albacore riding the offshore-tinged water.
