Hi Rick,
Im no guide, but I can tell you there are ton's of places to fish on the cape.
Any beach at any giving time can produce some wopper stripers. I have been
fishing the cape for over 15 years, not heavy, but enough to know the fishing
can be really great or terrible.
The best time to fish the cape (probably Everywhere too!) is between 2AM to
6AM and a good moving tide helps.
I fished race point beach the day hurrican Bob hit the cape. The fishing was
terrible, but the next morning, the sand eels where piled on the shore a foot
hi and the blues and stripers where right next to shore for about 2 hours straight.
That was really good fishing. Funny too, the see-gulls where so full, they where
on their sides with their feet sticking up.
As for a guide to fishing the cape, just find a beach, hit the right time, throw
a red fin out and slowly retrieve it. If you don't get any fish within 15
minutes, MOVE up or down the shore about 50 yds. I find the stripers can
congregate and you can be fishing right next to them and not get one, but the
person on your left or right are killing them.
Try live eels, (Bigger the better) - They are fool proof (Though I have see
lures out do live eels - Generally they don't).
So, good luck

PS: I'll be fishing Race Point beach and High Head the week of the 18th, if you
have a CB set, give Surfcaster a call on channel 34.
