Springtime Topwater Cape Cod Striper Blitzes

Every so often the stars align and everything works out perfectly. The weather is cooperating, the fish are biting, the boat is running well etc.

This is exactly what myself and a crew of My Fishing Cape Codders encountered during this My Fishing Cape Cod group fishing trip.

This turned out to be one of the best striper bites we experienced all season. There are no guarantees when you go fishing with us on a MFCC group trip, but the action you'll encounter in this video is the ultimate goal!

As mentioned above, each season we run a bunch of group fishing trips for MFCC members with captain Cullen. To get access to these trips, please signup as a member (if you have not already done so). 

Registration for group fishing trips happens all at once during the month of April. Any members of MFCC who are interested in hopping onboard a trip must register online. If you are a member, then you will receive an email notification well ahead of time so you don't miss your chance to register for a trip!

Tight lines ?
