Fishing Atlantic City

Atlantic City to Cape May: back bays, piers, and the point where Delaware Bay meets the ocean.

What's biting now (Fall): The fall striped bass run along the Jersey Shore is legendary, with blackfish and bluefish too.

Commonly caught in this area: Fluke, striped bass, weakfish, kingfish and black drum.

Also caught here: kingfish, croaker, tautog, black sea bass.

Piers put you over deeper water without a boat. Fish the pilings for sheepshead and snapper, and cast out from the end for mackerel and pompano when they run. Many Florida piers sell a license that covers everyone fishing from that pier.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
