Local Species Insights: Sharks and Stingrays
Cape May's coastal waters host several shark species accessible from shore, including sandbar sharks, smooth dogfish, and spiny dogfish. These fish move into shallow water during evening hours to feed on crabs, small fish, and other prey items stirred up by tidal action. Stingrays are also common targets, with cownose rays and southern stingrays frequently caught during summer months. The key to success lies in understanding their feeding patterns and using appropriate bait presentation techniques.
Evening fishing takes advantage of sharks' natural behavior patterns, as they become more active in low-light conditions. Fresh bait like bunker, mackerel, or squid works best, presented on heavy tackle capable of handling these powerful fish. The thrill of feeling a shark take the bait and the subsequent fight creates an unforgettable fishing experience that keeps anglers returning year after year.
