Wreck Site off the New Jersey coast
Mako Hotel is an offshore fishing area in NJ waters known for concentrating mako sharks and other pelagic species. The ground marks a productive stretch of offshore bottom where baitfish concentrations draw sharks, tuna, and bluefish to the surface. Shark fishing trips from Manasquan Inlet regularly include this area during summer season.
