Plain Area off the New Jersey coast
Maurice Tracey is a locally named fishing spot or vessel wreck off Barnegat Inlet in NJ offshore waters. Named for a vessel (the alternate spelling "Maurice Tracy" appears in the same area, suggesting a transcription variation of the same name), this ground marks productive bottom structure for sea bass, tautog, and fluke. Charter boats from Barnegat Inlet and Barnegat Light include this area in their central NJ offshore rotation during sea bass and fluke season.
