Cape Cod’s Early Season Striped Bass Fishing Hot Spots

by

Could the weather have been any better this winter?

I feel as if the winter never really happened here on Cape Cod, or really anywhere in New England for that matter.  As I write this I am enjoying a nice “spring-like” breeze that is blowing through many of the open windows in the house.  It’s 50 plus degrees and sunny at the moment with tomorrow’s temperatures expected to be in the mid 60′s.  Unreal!

The warm winter weather has kept water temperatures well above normal.  From what I have heard Cape Cod Bay is about 2-3 degrees warmer than usual for this time of the year.  How this will affect the 2012 saltwater fishing season is yet to be determined.

Some folks believe that this year’s fishing will be a little off due to the extraordinarily warm winter we have been having.  However all current signs seem to be pointing to the contrary.

I’m really looking forward to this season because it will be my first year of providing in-depth and detailed Cape Cod fishing reports for subscribers to the blog.  To access premium fishing reports during the 2012 season, considering becoming a member.  Right now you can sign up for just $1.

I’m also looking forward to this season because I think the incredibly high amount of whale and dolphin activity this past winter in Cape Cod Bay bodes extremely well for the upcoming striped bass season.

Snow Storm Striped Bass – a 2011 Reader Story

by

Well we have crossed the mid-way point of the winter, which means we only have around 2.5 months until the first stripers of 2012 will be trickling into Cape Cod’s waters.  To help get through these tough last couple of months, here’s a story from Captain Paul Peluso about a late October 2011 trip.

Hopefully we’ll see plenty of bass like the one below in 2012!

If you have a story and photo from an awesome 2011 trip that you’d like to share, feel free to send it along to misslorettafishing@gmail.com.

Take care,

Ryan

With the pending Big Nor’easter coming I made the 5 AM call to try a sneak a trip in before the heavy rain and wind. Sent a few messages out, had Neil respond and Junior on standby. Junior, who just the other day landed a nice 26 lb striper was surf fishing from the East Jetty all night long with no luck.
