Lump off the New Jersey coast
Oley's Lump stands roughly 20 nautical miles east of Barnegat Inlet, far enough for a committed run. The lump's rise pushes bait upward where bluefish, bonito, and false albacore can pin it; sea bass and fluke work the base. A second logging of the same lump sits alongside.
