Reef off the New Jersey coast
The 1,328-acre main footprint of Little Egg Reef, 5.9 nautical miles east-southeast of the inlet. Structure across the site holds sea bass through the season and tautog once water cools — work piece to piece rather than anchoring on the first mark.
The surrounding is plain with sandy and maore gravel the up north of it.
