Year round Striped Bass fishing in Cape May

IMG_4277

There is striped bass fishing, and there is striped bass fishing in the Cape May’s sounds.
Jarvis and Taylor sounds hold a fantastic number of resident striped bass. I have caught them year round, including January and February. Not sure why stripers only winter in these two Cape May County sounds. When the water heats up in the summer, these are go-to spots also. It could be the proximity to deep water, just outside of cold spring inlet. I have caught them from 42-78 degrees. The fish are very reliable, mater of fact, you can expect an 85% success rate. Once you learn how to fish the area. Couple this with light tackle, beautiful clean calm waters and big striped bass. You will find yourself with very little interest in fishing for striped bass anyplace else.
