Catching fish is something most kids enjoy. Family fishing Cape May New Jersey is a perfect way to enjoy the outdoors any time of year. However, it's absolutely perfect in summer, when beaches, bays, and the ocean are warm and inviting. It's also when the croakers are in residence.
The fish called croaker seldom gets more than twelve inches long and is easy for a child to land. They fight fiercely and give kids a real thrill. Moreover, they are plentiful in the New Jersey waters, so they provide a lot of action that everyone will enjoy.
A fun way to go after croakers and many other species off Cape May is to join a party boat. They fill up fast on week-ends, but week-days often have room for last-minute applicants. These family-friendly boats are inspected and licensed by the Coast Guard, so they are clean and safe. They have cabins, bathrooms, and friendly crew members who love to show kids a good time.
Kids also will like the natural wonders of the area. An area called 'The Rips' where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean has strong tidal currents which create a rippled bottom with deep holes and sandbars. Off-shore winds, when they're against the tide, cause high waves to stand up behind the barriers on the bottom. This area is only for experienced fisher-folk, but it's great for sightseers and birdwatchers.
Part of the fun for children is seeing the water, feeling the wind, and watching for wildlife. At the Rips, all sorts of birds prey on the bait-fish, as smaller species are called. Gulls, terns, pelicans, storm-petrels, kittiwakes, gannets, and jaegers are some that can be seen. Bottle-nosed dolphins and even Hump-backed whales may join the party. Many of these birds and animals can be seen from the off-shore boats, as well.
It's recommended that children be seven and older to go on the off-shore boat trips. There are four-hour excursions that are about all the excitement smaller kids can stand. Teens may be interested enough for the six to eight-hour day trips, which is a long time to spend on the water. However, the time goes quickly when it's all new and exciting. Those really into the sport of game-fishing will like night trips after the large, strong bluefish.
The family can fish in other ways, not just from boats. Cape May, the charming Victorian town that draws almost as many visitors as the water, has bridges, jetties, and beaches for fishing nearer to land. Kids also like crabbing, a sport that is great for small fry and can get you dinner, too. There are quiet back-bays, where little ones can watch minnows and try for larger prey.
Those who don't want to fish can have a wonderful day - or a whole vacation of days - exploring the charming Victorian town of Cape May. There are historic houses, museums, exclusive shops, and great restaurants. The beaches are breath-taking. Luxury hotels and period B&Bs are waiting to make your stay comfortable, guide you to local attractions, and tell you all about the area.
