Plain Area off the New Jersey coast
Blue Boy II is a locally named fishing spot or vessel-based artificial reef off Shark River Inlet in NJ offshore waters. The site marks productive hard-bottom structure for sea bass, tautog, and bluefish in the Shark River offshore zone. Charter captains from Belmar and Shark River marinas work this area on afternoon and half-day bottom-fishing trips. Sea bass fishing peaks in spring and fall; tautog hold on structure year-round.
