Buoy Area off the New Jersey coast
The sea buoy just 2 nautical miles southeast of Barnegat Inlet, close enough for the smallest boats on a calm morning. Outgoing tide flushes bait past the mark and the bluefish follow; false albacore and bonito make fast passes through the same water in late summer.
