Lump off the New Jersey coast
Ednas Bottom is a broad offshore bottom feature in NJ waters, characterized by its relatively flat profile and productive bottom structure. The extended ground holds sea bass, tautog, and fluke across its area. Tuna and bluefish patrol the surface above during summer migration windows. Charter captains from Shark River include this area in multi-ground offshore runs during peak season.
