Fishing Brigantine

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.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

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
