Lump off the New Jersey coast
A 67-acre Fenwick Shoal parcel on the main shoal's southeastern flank, 29 nautical miles south of Cape May Inlet. It shares the shoal's sand-eel economy — drop for sea bass on the slope, then chase the surface commotion when the pelagics pin bait against the rise.
The surrounding area is composed by several sloughs with hard and broken bottom characteristics.
