    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    Cape May Reef off the Cape May County coast is one of New Jersey's productive artificial reef sites, where the reef structure attracts black sea bass, summer flounder, tautog, and bluefish to what would otherwise be a featureless sandy bottom, creating a productive fishing destination in the southern New Jersey offshore waters. Spot Features: Cape May Reef is one of NJDEP's artificial reef sites in the Atlantic Ocean off Cape May County, New Jersey, providing hard structure that concentrates black sea bass, summer flounder, tautog, bluefish, and Atlantic cod in the otherwise sandy bottom of the Southern New Jersey shelf. Seasonality: Black sea bass and summer flounder are the primary targets at Cape May Reef (artificial reef system) in Cape May County, New Jersey, from spring through fall, with black sea bass best from June through October and summer flounder from May through September. Tautog are spring and fall structure fish. Bluefish are a warm-season open-water species over the reef.
