Cape May Southeast Slough — 60ft

Location

About This Ground

A large, narrow slough tracking the 60-foot depth contour, located 2 nautical miles southeast of a navigational buoy reference in the offshore Cape May zone. The elongated shape creates an extended drift corridor along the full width of the structure. At 60 feet, this ground sits at the overlap zone between fluke and sea bass habitat, producing consistent catches of both species in season. Summer fluke action peaks from June through August; fall transitions to sea bass on the slough edges. The narrow profile means drift direction matters — plan your approach based on wind and tide alignment. Cape May Inlet provides direct access to this productive offshore slough.

The surrounding area is characterized by sandy material as a bottom type.
