Fly Fishing In Cape May

[CapeMayRay]

June was a good month for catching stripers on the fly with good catches with some nice keeper size fish. As the water continues to warm up we are seeing mostly schoolie size stripers. Top striper flies along the Inlet rocks have been Chartreuse/white clousers and larger bucktail deciever patterns. For weakfish orange/yellow clousers and jiggies fished on intermediate and sinking lines are working the best.

In the back bay topwater steroid gurglers have been providing great surface action for stripers on the shallow flats.

With the unusal warm water we have had to work a bit harder to find the fish but there seems to be enough around to have fun.

Some pictures.

July we are still seeing good striper fishing with schoolie size bass with a few keepers mixed in. Still have to work to find them but early mornings and evenings are the time to fish.

July has been very good. I hope the baitfish hang around and the water doesn't get too warm.

Still picking away at the stripers even with the warm water, but we have to work a little harder for them.
