Edge off the New Jersey coast
A large edge that follows the 60 feet depth line from N to S for 13 nautical miles. It goes all the way up almost to the Fingers spot. Note: the coordinates are for the middle point of all the line that it covers. Bucktails tipped with Gulp or strip baits are deadly for fluke.
The surrounding area is characterized by sandy material as a bottom type.
