Lump off the New Jersey coast
McCrie Shoal rises just 4.8 nautical miles south of Cape May Inlet, nearly 2,000 acres of shoal ground guarding the approach to the Rips. It is dedicated fluke water — the shoal's slopes and sand waves stage flatfish all summer, close enough to fish on a half-day tide.
They are surrounded by several lumps of the same area make up of sandy and shelly in the north of them.
