Plain Area off the New Jersey coast
Bald Eagle is a locally named fishing ground off Sandy Hook in NJ offshore waters. The spot marks productive hard-bottom structure for sea bass, tautog, and bluefish, named by local captains who have worked the area for generations. Striped bass move through during spring and fall migration. Charter boats from Sandy Hook and Highlands area marinas include Bald Eagle on multi-stop bottom-fishing runs in the Sandy Hook offshore zone.
