Fishing Cape May Back Bay

Warm, shallow back bay water near Cape May Harbor that heats up early in spring and holds some of the best early season flounder action in the county. April flounder here can be exceptional and doormats are possible in May and June as bait concentrates in the harbor channels. Weakfish work this system through summer and the proximity to Cape May Inlet means stripers and blues push in on the tide through spring and fall. The area around the harbor entrance is particularly productive on the outgoing tide when current pulls bait out of the back bay and into the channel. Shedder crab and bucktails are worth carrying here all season.
