Re: Sea Bass- I need help!
Probably a great start would be to obtain the free Guide to NJ Artificial Reefs available on NJ DEP Fish & Game website. Download the PDF. It has all the exact coordinates for the hundreds of wrecks, rock piles, etc. where sea bass and other groundfish live. This time of the year, sea bass can be found from shallows of 35-40 feet to deeper spots of 90+ feet. Depending on where you sail from, there are a number of inshore artificial reefs to try!
Also, I know it's a ways off, but I have been doing a beginner-intermediate-advanced seminar on sea bass fishing at the Edison Saltwater Expo in February or March. Assuming they sponsor me again, I hope to see you there - it's free too!
Have fun catching them - and be mindful of the seasons and bag limits!
