Cape May- April 12, 2026
Anglers have been picking away at Striped bass at Higbee's beach and Douglas Park (bayside) this past week. Baits of choice include Bloodworms, clams, squid and bunker chunks on fish finder rigs. Fishing plugs and paddle tail lures can also be productive, we recommend Mag-Darters in bone color or the 5" bunker swim shads. The striper bite is just beginning and should continue to improve in the following weeks with the height of the run occurring toward the end of May. Stop by the shop for more info.
