Plain Area off the New Jersey coast
Maurice Tracy is a locally named fishing spot or vessel wreck off Barnegat Inlet in NJ offshore waters, appearing alongside the alternate spelling "Maurice Tracey" in NJ DEP records — both names likely refer to the same vessel or spot. The ground marks productive bottom structure for sea bass, tautog, and fluke in the central NJ offshore zone. Charter boats from Barnegat Inlet and Barnegat Light include this area on their standard bottom-fishing runs during peak season.
