if you define ledge as a reef or rocky uprising from the ocean floor, then I would actually say about 95% of SW Ledge is outside the line, FWIW. It is relatively flat with a few small rockpiles between the rocky coastal environment of the SW Point/ Black Rock zone and The Ledge.

I think a lot of people fish in that coastal zone of SW Point / Black Rock, and call it SW Ledge, which it is not, IMO. Although it is not mud flats, it is rocky all the way to the ledge, and there can be fish holding almost anywhere...

Absolutely correct. Plus in years past the green cops were out there issuing summonses to all of the boats fishing outside the line and at the sub buoy.

When targeting bluefish for sharking, we fish the ledge outside the 3 mile line and pretty much have the place to ourselves. Those periodic enforcements seem to leave an impression.
