The nutrient rich waters of the bay attract large numbers of shrimp, seaworms, and small baitfish into the area. This makes the area a prime feeding place for all gamefish and their young. Tide preference seems to be rising and flood tide, but I have caught fish on all stages of the tide. The rip at the point proper is very heavily fished and often crowded as everyone tries to fish here. However, either the bay or river side of the bank is as productive and there are several creeks on the river side, which provide some excellent fishing on the falling tide.
Most people fish bloodworms in the early season here.
However there is also excellent lure and flyfishing at Graveling Point. Flies, like clouser minnows, deceivers, sand eel patterns, shrimp patterns, and cinderworm patterns, work well. I like to tie a number of different colors of clouser minnows and deceivers but chartreuse and yellow seem to work very well. Olive and white or brown and white sandeel pattern and black head , red body cinderworm flies work well. An intermediate sinking or slow sink line is the best choice here.
