Cape May County ‘s resident striped bass

One of today’s striped bass

Striped bass fishing in Cape May County, NJ has been dependent upon our local striper population, so far this season. The conditions necessary for the migratory fish to show up , wind direction, water temperature and other factors, have not lined up yet and may not. Mother nature dictates the conditions, every year is unique. However, if you arm yourself with information specific to fishing for our resident striped bass, your catch rate will skyrocket. Watch for upcoming articles in On The Water magazine (New York/New Jersey) for detailed information on this subject.

Striped bass play on the flats

Wayne with his first striped bass of the 2014 fall season

Nothing frustrates a fisherman more than sighting a beautiful striped bass , only to find the striper is not interested in his offerings. Crystal clear water and a sunny sky made it very easy to spot the fish on the open water flats, but they would not hit any of our arsenal. We watched in awe as they terrorized the baitfish. We were enjoying the striper show, but catching stripers was the order of the day.

We moved off to a new locating, we found the tide running a little harder coupled with a freshly clouded sky . On the first cast a 24″ striper put Wayne’s drag in motion, more action followed. Hopefully we will get some NW wind in the near future. A south wind this time of the year really slows the bite. The water temperature is back up to 64 degrees.

Striped bass bite continues

A healthy 30″ Cape May sound striped bass

Today’s stripers were real drag screaming gladiators, they put my light gear to the test for sure. We caught some nice fish during our 3 hour trip and earned everyone. The stripers we caught today looked to be resident fish. The weather forecast has the outlook for NJ red drum and speckled trout fishing looking like a wast of time. The upside is, we still have time for the conditions to fall in place and striped bass to catch.

Autumn Weakfish

A 25″ weakfish and a crisp fall sunset. 9-23-2014

I had planned on pushing hard for speckled trout and red drum this week, but the conditions are not in place yet. However, targeting and catching weakfish this time of year is just as rewarding. The NE wind that is blowing today could jump start the weakfish east south migration, ending the season in the back waters. The water temperature is 68 degrees and the water clarity is excellent. This was a beautiful day to be saltwater fishing.

The last weakfish of the 2014 season ?

by kensdock • September 20, 2014 • 0 Comments

It is time for me to focus on Jersey red drum and speckled trout, so today’s weakfish could be the last of the season for me. The first red drum of the fall season has been caught, I call this fish the motivator. The fishing news travels at the speed of light today , even with the (do not tell anybody) tag on it. I am sure the Jersey red drum specialist will be fishing a little harder next week. The peanut bunker, mullet and snapper blues are still pretty thick in the back waters and along the beachfront. We need the water temperature to drop a few degrees and a good NW wind to jump start the fall fishing season.
