Canyon off the New Jersey coast
Probably the biggest area in the Canyon because it covers from 50 to 100 fathom depth lines starting in the E side of the "Hudson Canyon" and fonish in the "DIP" spot. The profundity is going deeper from N to S and is very regular from W to E. Trolling along the canyon edges is most productive.
Plain except the "Hudson Canyon" spot. They are composed by mud in the South and sandy in the North of it.
