Reef off the New Jersey coast
A 633-acre reef ground 2.1 nautical miles east-southeast of Manasquan Inlet. Sea bass and tautog stack on the low-relief structure, fluke prowl the surrounding sand, and weakfish move through on the tide in early summer — all within a ten-minute run of the inlet jetties.
