Fishing Cape May Inlet

The premier inlet in South Jersey and arguably the best single striper spot in Cape May County during the spring and fall migrations. This is a major working inlet where Delaware Bay and the Atlantic meet, creating powerful tidal rips that funnel bait and hold fish for days at a time. The spring run in late April and May sees some of the biggest stripers of the year stacking in the rips. Bucktails, darters, and large swim shads on the outgoing tide at dawn and dusk are the standard approach. Weakfish, bluefish, and fluke are all caught here regularly through summer. The jetties on both sides provide surf access to the rip.
