Reef off the New Jersey coast
The Ocean City Reef site covers 871 acres about 4.7 nautical miles southeast of Corson Inlet. Deployed reef structure across the footprint draws the fish; summer flounder is the headline catch here, ambushing from the sand beside each piece — hop from mark to mark rather than drifting the whole site blind.
All the surrounding area is sandy bottom material.
