Cape May Court House offers excellent Black Sea Bass fishing in the nearby Atlantic Ocean. These bottom-dwelling fish are plentiful around wrecks, reefs, and artificial structures. The best time to target them is from late spring through fall, when water temperatures are warmer. Dropping baited hooks or jigs near these structures is the most effective method. Squid, clams, and crabs are all popular baits. Pay attention to depth and current; sea bass often hold tight to the structure, so you'll need to get your bait down to them quickly. Charter boats are readily available in the area and offer a great way to access offshore hotspots. Alternatively, smaller boats can target inshore reefs closer to shore. Be sure to check the regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out. The sea bass in this area are known for their robust size, providing a rewarding angling experience.
