The flounder were hitting my paddle tail rubber bait, as aggressively as the striped bass and bluefish. Dayna caught the biggest flounder today it weighed 4.8 pound. She caught it on an unscented rubber bait. I am sure you could limit out on flounder in the back bay, if you targeted them, using peanut bunker as bait. We had a good mid – day striped bass bite, but the bluefish continue to dominate. The water temperature was 70 degrees on the top of the tide.
This is the best time of year to vacation in Cape May County, NJ. No crowds, plenty of fish, reduced prices and fantastic weather.

Ken, Do not let out our secret. Terrible time to vacation here! 😉
Debbie, nice to hear from you.
The flounder fishing has been excellent for September in the back waters. CJ Polhamus caught 30 plus flounder yesterday.
