A big area East of "Five Fathom Bank" with an irregular shape because it follows the 60 feet depth line in the W part of it but in the E part it gets more wide. It resembles a fist with a finger. Clam and squid on high-low rigs work great for sea bass.
The surrounding characteristics are composed by sandy and shelly material as a bottom type.
