Plain Area off the New Jersey coast
GE (Great Egg) is a locally abbreviated reference spot near Great Egg Inlet in NJ offshore waters, used by local captains as a navigational waypoint identifier for this productive bottom structure. Sea bass and tautog concentrate on the hard bottom; fluke and weakfish patrol the sandy edges in summer. Charter boats from Ocean City and Great Egg Inlet marinas include this area in their standard south-central NJ offshore bottom-fishing rotation.
