Ridge off the New Jersey coast
Manasquan Ridge runs 6.2 nautical miles southeast of its namesake inlet, a bottom rise with a same-named companion ground alongside. The ridge line concentrates sea bass and tautog against its hard edges; migrating striped bass track along the same contour spring and fall.
