Fishing The Thorofare
The main arterial channel of the Cape May back bay system with some of the strongest tidal flow and deepest structure in the back bay. Deep holes along the channel edges hold stripers through spring and fall and the current here is strong enough to put quality fish on the feed even in the middle of the tide. This is one of the better big bass spots in the back bay, especially on the outgoing tide in October and November. Bunker chunk and heavy bucktails work the holes while paddle tail swimbaits cover the current seams. Weakfish also use this channel heavily in summer. The strong current means heavier presentations than anywhere else in the back bay.
