Fishing Cape May Point

The southernmost tip of New Jersey where the Delaware Bay current meets the Atlantic and creates the most famous striper rip in South Jersey. Fish stage here during both the spring and fall migrations making it a two season destination. The point is primarily a surf and wading spot with jetty access on the bay side. The rip forms strongest on the outgoing tide and concentrates baitfish right on the beach, bringing stripers in within casting range. Poppers and needlefish worked through the rip at dawn are the go to presentation. This is also a prime bluefish spot when bunker schools push by in October.
