Buoy Area off the New Jersey coast
The Jones Inlet sea-buoy ground, nearly 20 nautical miles east-northeast of Sandy Hook along the Long Island shore of the Bight. It fishes as a trolling waypoint — bluefish through the season, false albacore and bonito in the late-summer bait runs, stripers on migration.
