Greetings TonyQ!

Check out Jim's Bait and Tackle (RT 109 and 3rd Ave across from the South Jersey Marina.) Weakies should be hitting (if this weekend's Nor'Easter doesn't screw things up), and there may still be blackfish on the jetties since the water is still a little cold. Small blues should be around, too. The horseshoe crab migration is underway, so you might want to keep your baits off the bottom.

thanks foe the reply, yes I will agree the horse shoes can ruin a fishing trip

Fish Poverty Beach area, from CM go north on Beach Ave till the end. Find a parking space (hard on the weekends). Walk down the sand for 100-200 ft, set up shop.

Another good shop for the surf fishermen is Bob Jackson Surf Fishing Center, 719 Broadway, West Cape May, NJ (at the southern end of Cape May). www.fishcapemay.com
