Boat fishermen in New York and New Jersey call this zone of the Raritan Bay "The Dental Works". It is easily found on the north shore of the Raritan Bay, with the shoreline tower channel marker, and the steeple of the monestary on Hylan Ave. There is a criss cross of channels there and make for excellent fishing for Fluke, Blues, Striped Bass and Weaks. Boaters frequent these grounds for action trolling and casting lures for our local Gamefish species.



In the Raritan bay, look at the south shore of Staten Island, locate the large steeple of the monastery. The chanells that criss cross 2 miles off the beach ALWAYS hold bait and predators. Troll, jig or use bucktails. This is a great spot!
