I've learned much from the articles, podcasts and of course forum which I read daily. I wear my MFCC hat whenever I'm out and I've already met another member on the beach as a result. I also enjoyed great success on trips with members who were kind enough to invite me out on their boats. Minimal resistance from wife so far despite her inability to comprehend why a man of 70 would choose to wake up at 3 am to catch a favorable tide.

Howard Hausman

I just wrapped up an incredible Cape Cod vacation and wanted to thank you for the terrific info/instructions you provide. I met friendly and helpful people during my canal trips, and was amazed at the valuable information forum members provided. I look forward to long time membership!

 

Paul Davey & Family

stop us if any of this sounds familiar...

  • You want to make the most of your boating, vacationing, and fishing time on Cape Cod, and you want to share the experience with your friends and family.
  • You want to catch fish, but don't know where to start and what to use, and also where to go...
  • You're sick of the frustration of getting skunked & battling the learning curve...
  • Your catching fish and having success, and now you're interested in catching new species and discovering new areas.

If it does, then you know how difficult it can be to get quality fishing information, advice & support

THAT'S WHAT INSPIRED ME TO BUILD THIS PLACE

I was fed up with hearing stories about good people with a passion for fishing, just like you, being left stuck and let down in their pursuit of fishing success, thanks to:

  • Unfriendly Anglers who seem to know everything and bash on beginner anglers for asking simple questions...
  • Cape Cod's notoriously difficult learning curve that drives most new anglers to quit instead of devoting years (sometimes decades) to learning the craft...
  • The lack of a good fishing network of other trustworthy anglers who you can rely on to share information, advice, tips and support...

Thankfully, all of that is now behind you...

Introducing My Fishing Cape Cod Membership

Our mission is to help people catch fish and to instill an appreciation of nature. We do this by connecting anglers with one another, publishing trustworthy information, and creating entertaining fishing content on a regular basis.

Over 1,700 members (and growing). The two things everyone has in common is an appreciation of Cape Cod and a passion for fishing.

This includes people who live on Cape Cod year round, part-time or visit the Cape on vacation. Join My Fishing Cape Cod to discover what it's like to explore and fish the Cape for stripers, bluefish, tuna & much more.

Membership Will Help You:

Build an outdoors lifestyle you love, re-connect with Cape Cod's natural world, and find the tranquility, solitude and peace that fishing can provide.

Tap into the collective knowledge & experience of an entire community of Cape Cod anglers and experts who support each other.

Eliminate the guesswork and stop going out blind and praying for fish to bite, by giving you information & intel to follow.

Finally get to grips with the technical side of fishing and managing your gear and tackle - saving you hours of frustration.

Learn how to cook what you catch, and impress your family and friends with delicious and healthy recipes for locally caught seafood.

Become infinitely better at keeping up-to-speed with what's biting and where, so that you have way more success and less skunkings.

All Members are able to:

1

Get connected.

Our members' forum might be the friendliest fishing forum on the net! It's the place to share daily reports and information, post items for sale, answer questions and swap advice.

No bashing or foul language is permitted. We're here to support one another.

The people in the forum are wonderful. Someone stole my bag while I was at the canal, so I posted about it inside the forum, with the thought of letting the other members know to be sure to watch their stuff carefully. To my surprise I had many offers (more than I could count!) from members who wanted to send me lures lures to help rebuild my stolen bag. There are just some wonderful people here on MFCC.

These trips give our members an opportunity to go fishing with some of the Cape's best charter captains for striped bass, bluefin tuna, albies and other species - at an affordable per person rate.

Joe Kovacs

member since 2015

I've gone from struggling to catching hundreds of stripers per year. Thank you to Ryan, and all the members of My Fishing Cape Cod. I have learned so much from listening to the podcasts, reading the insightful posts, lure suggestions, and the all-around great information.

Chris Goguen

member since 2015

I had a fabulous time going out on a My Fishing Cape Cod group trip. The fishing was awesome, the people fun to be with, and the black sea bass dinner that night was delicious. We have more fillets in the freezer for a few more yummy dinners. Thank you for setting up these terrific charters!

Gretchen Stiers

member since 2018

I'll say my first year's membership was definitely $$$ well spent. What a great year! Best part was meeting some folks who are not only great fishermen, but just plain old good people. From adventures fishing new spots at night to riding heavy chop tossing docs, it was awesome.

Kevin Touhey

member since 2020

Ryan - you've helped my son build up his confidence as a fisherman. I am not sure you really know what type of impression you have made on him. THANK YOU!

Kristin Walton


Do yourself a favor and get onboard with My Fishing Cape Cod today! My son and I have had amazing fishing adventures with MFCC, catching and bringing home fresh striped bass, blues, mackerel, black sea bass and more.

Tom Howie

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I become a member today instead of waiting?

It's time for you to take action. Simple as that. If you really want to have a successful, fun time fishing on Cape Cod, then you need somewhere to get answers to all of your questions - especially the ones you don’t know you have yet. You need support, community, and most of all... intel!

My Fishing Cape Cod is that place. If you really want to start catching, the time is now.

What happens if I decide to cancel my membership?

Obviously we'd love it if all of our members stuck around forever - but we've been around long enough to know that that's never going to happen! So, if you do decide to cancel obviously we'll be very sad, but you'll be able to do so with just a few clicks from within your account page. Or you can just ask us to cancel for you.

Once cancelled you’ll retain access to the site for any remaining time paid for, after which you’ll lose access to all of the content, community and live sessions.

I'm still at square one with fishing, is My Fishing Cape Cod right for me?

Absolutely - My Fishing Cape Cod covers every stage of learning, exploring and fishing on Cape Cod - from the very start, even if you've never caught a fish. In fact now is the perfect time for you to join My Fishing Cape Cod; as not only do we have resources that will take you through every step, but you'll also be able to get support and advice from within the community too, to help you through your fishing journey.

What types of fishing does My Fishing Cape Cod cover?

We focus on saltwater fishing and especially striped bass (which is the fish in our logo) as this is the type of fishing that the majority of our members are looking to do. That said, much of our content is relevant to other types of fishing, including tuna, albies, bluefish, fluke, flounder, tautog, sea bass, freshwater species and more.

I've been fishing my whole life, what can My Fishing Cape Cod do for me?

Assuming you want to keep growing your skills and fishing experiences, then My Fishing Cape Cod can help you discover how to catch different species of fish, and help you learn about fishing in different areas of the Cape (and beyond). Plus our community is eager to support you with working towards your future goals. This is certainly not a "beginner only" community - far from it! We've helped many experienced anglers have more fun on the water. Plus, a lot of our experienced anglers enjoy using My Fishing Cape Cod as platform for "giving back" and passing on their lifetime of information to the next generation of anglers. There's plenty of expertise on MFCC that you're sure to benefit from in your continued growth.

Is all of the content available straight away or is it time-released (drip fed)?

You get access to everything that's already inside My Fishing Cape Cod straight away! No waiting for content to be released to you, just jump in and start making use of the reports, articles, videos, podcasts, courses and forums straight away. We regularly update and add new material too - so your content library will continue growing.

Can I get one-on-one help and support?

We don’t provide in-depth private support or coaching - however you can send us questions via our interactive chat system and receive a reply direct to your inbox. You can also get feedback and advice any time from within our community, both from fellow members and ourselves (we’re in the community every day!)

What if I don't enjoy My Fishing Cape Cod membership?

We know you will LOVE your My Fishing Cape Cod membership, however, if for whatever reason you're not 100% satisfied in any way we have a 30 day money back guarantee (no questions asked). We want you to succeed, and know that if you become a member of  MFCC and really put your heart and soul into it... you will become a better angler!

Will a My Fishing Cape Cod membership still be useful if I fish off-Cape?

Yes! The majority of the content on My Fishing Cape Cod is specific to the Cape, but almost all of the strategies, tips and advice can be applied to catching stripers, bluefish, tautog and other species all throughout New England and beyond. We actually have a lot of members who live and fish hundreds of miles from Cape Cod, but still enjoy their membership.

Can I hire Ryan as a guide?

Due to his busy schedule, Ryan plans out his guided fishing trips well in advance. If you are a member of My Fishing Cape Cod, then you will be notified via email of any upcoming trips. Members always get the first opportunity to register for trips, before they are released to the public.

I'm not 100% sure what My Fishing Cape Cod membership is or if it's right for me, do you offer a trial so I can test it out?

We’re not currently offering a trial, however you can get a good feel for exactly what the membership is by browsing the free content on the site and following along with our email newsletter. If you still have questions, just let us know. You can contact us at anytime by clicking the turquoise chat bubble in the lower right hand corner of your screen.

You can also click the turquoise chat bubble in the bottom right hand corner and we'll get back to you right away.

You'll improve your fishing skills and knowledge of Cape Cod.

Ryan has forgotten more about fishing than many of us will ever know. He’s a student and always learning - and sharing information. His knowledge of Cape Cod - from the surf to the bays to the ocean - plus his knowledge of the species, means he’ll be able to get you on fish. You’ll come away with some great memories - but also improve your fishing skills and knowledge of Cape Cod.

Bob Flaherty - Member since April of 2018

I never miss a posting!

I went from never catching a striper to catching them in my own neighborhood with the guidance from Ryan and this site. The reports read like good journalism-especially with the photos & videos.

Jane Simpson - Member since 2012

You made my summer!

I owe my success to Ryan and others who have advised me through MFCC. Until this season I had never surf fished in June and this was my "bucket list" trip. I cannot thank you all enough.

David Stetson - Member since 2014

I've caught 4 stripers over 40 inches.

Thanks to the help of your site I have gone from trying to catch my first keeper, to having caught four fish over 40 inches, all in less than a year at the canal.

Jame Stewart - Member since January 2017

The openness and information available for fishermen is unreal.

MFCC has such a unique fishing forum. I really enjoy reading everything at the end of the day - such great info and very entertaining. I look to the expertise of "the MFCC crowd” for advice. Thank you Ryan for creating something we all wanted.

Patrick Vardaro - Member since February 2018

I caught 34 stripers!

Just got back from 2 days fishing up in Falmouth. This was my first time ever striper fishing, and I just wanted to thank you for all the info you post because it totally made the difference. I had a blast, and in 2 days I caught 34 stripers. Thank you again for all the pointers!

Mark Proch

I look forward to long time membership!

I just wrapped up an incredible Cape Cod vacation and wanted to thank you for the terrific info/instructions you provide. I met friendly and helpful people during my canal trips, and was amazed at the valuable information forum members provided. I look forward to long time membership!

Paul Davey & Family - Member since January 2019

I’ve been following MFCC since 2016

I want to take a moment and thank you. I’ve been following MFCC since 2016, and all the fish we caught during my recent trip to Monomoy, were caught using techniques I’ve learned from your site. Thanks so much for being part of my learning experience.

Daniel Mccaffrey - My Fishing Cape Codder since 2016

My Fishing Cape Cod is a fisherman's dream.

Having fished my entire life, I have been looking for a place to learn, share, and grow with other people who share this passion. Whether I am checking the forum/blog from work in my morning routine or listening to the weekly podcast, the amount of information on a daily basis is truly special. The community Ryan's built has been a pleasure to be a part of as a member!

John Steele - MFCC member since May of 2018

You guys are awesome!

Thanks to tips from Ryan I was able to catch my first striped bass this past summer. Suffice it to say that I'm hooked on surfcasting. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Joe Kovacs - Member since 2015

MFCC got me out of the doldrums.

When I was out of work 2 years ago with hip surgery, I found your site and it gave me the "go" I needed to get out and do it again. Now my wife of 41 years can't keep me out of the woods or on the water. Thank you.

Andy Mulhall - Member since 2019

I caught more than 30 stripers and blues.

Thank you for the advise when I was on Cape for vacation. I caught more than 30 stripers and blues.

Mark Hensel - Member since 2021

I'm happy to be a member! 

Thanks to My Fishing Cape Cod, I have met a bunch of really great fishermen. I never would have met these people without being part of MFCC. Thank you Ryan for running this gig. I'm sure it's more work than any of us realize, but it's such a great thing you do for the community.

Gary Routenberg - Member since 2016

The best investment I have ever made was to join My Fishing Cape Cod, and take a guided surfcasting tour with Ryan.

As a novice saltwater fisherman, I've had limited success from shore. The best investment I have ever made was to join My Fishing Cape Cod, and take a guided surfcasting tour with Ryan. It was my best day of fishing I've ever had in fresh or saltwater.

Nate Curran - Member since October 2017

Thanks for striving to give members a high quality experience!

Since joining MFCC I’ve been inundated by the wealth of knowledge and generosity of the members who share the same passion as me. Being a teenager with a small fishing network, MFCC has been a dream come true as fellow members have given me the opportunity to not only grow in the sport, but to also give back to the sport.

Nick Beltramini - Member since May 2019

Our trip to Cuttyhunk was a great time.

What impresses me most about MFCC is the quality people that you meet on the site. All posts in the forum are friendly, helpful, and show a desire to connect with nature and others through fishing.

Dex Chadsey - Member since 2013

Your site has been a huge factor in helping me.

First of all, thank you for all the work you do and information you provide-it has helped me more than you know. I've grown up my whole life fishing the North Shore, mainly the Merrimack River and Plum Island beaches/estuaries.

Riley McLaughlin - Member since June 2016

MFCC helps keep me going and reminds me to continue to appreciate the beauty of the world around us, and enjoy time on the water.

Keep up the great work, and please know that while I've never been able to get to a meet up, or schedule a charter, or other awesome things you offer, I do love every opportunity to read, listen, and watch what you post. Which, like you say, is not just about catching fish. It's just being out and taking in the magnificence that exists around us when we slow down a bit, and absorb the splendor of this place we get to call home.

Kyle Norman - Member since 2022

Ryan, just watched my first few sessions of MFCC TV and I have to say excellent job!

Also, the spot about picking up trash in your shows, what an absolutely magnificent thing. From a human standpoint, I've noticed you seem to be a very grateful and charitable person. Thanks for doing what you do, teaching us, and bringing us this content. We appreciate it very much! Cheers!

Samuel French - Member since 2022

The monthly membership fee is a small price to pay for the amount of information you can access and the amount of information that is shared throughout the network by the members.

Ryan has always been quick to respond to emails and has always been extremely supportive of all efforts to promote fishing both on and off Cape Cod. He has been equally supportive of efforts to improve the lives of those less fortunate here on Cape Cod. The annual breakfast meeting is always a must-attend event not only for the good food, but for the opportunity to meet others with similar interests and concerns. It is all informative as well as entertaining. Thanks Ryan for starting MFCC and doing a great job keeping it up and running with informative speakers, interesting articles, fabulous pictures and always being eager and willing to lend an ear and offer advice and support.

Richard Banks - Member since 2013

I owe a ton to Ryan and the My Fishing Cape Cod community!

Without My Fishing Cape Cod (and my best bud coercing me into switching over to salt water fishing) I probably wouldn’t have moved to south Plymouth to get closer to the fishing grounds I’ve become obsessed with over the last 4 years or so. I owe a ton to Ryan and the My Fishing Cape Cod community & it’s evident that plenty of other MFCC members feel the same way. #tightlines #capecodforlife

I’m thrilled with the club!

I LOVE the emails! I’m quite a bit less mobile than previously, but while I’m doing therapy and going forward, I love reading MFCC. I even dream about some of the adventures and it gives me another reason to push harder to live some myself!

Today my son and I landed 2 schoolies where you told us to go.

Hi Ryan,

Back in February my son and I came the breakfast that you hosted. I told you that we had not had much success catching stripers, and you gave us some suggestions. Today my son and I landed 2 schoolies where you told us to go.

Thank you for your help and insight!

Dave Peling - Member since 2019

The members in the forum are great!

Last week I posted about some extra fishing gear I was hoping to sell, and so far I've already sold 2 rods and 3 reels. The members in the forum are great!

Jeff Coates - Member since 2014

I want to thank everyone in the forum for their advice. It was SO helpful. I have been having a blast kayak fishing this season!

John Lapenta - Member since 2014

This site is outrageous!

Ryan, this site is outrageous! I could spend a month just watching the videos and reading the stories about the canal. I was expecting just a fishing report about various locations on the Cape that would give me a heads up in regards to spots to fish, methods and equipment to use-but I can see that MFCC is much more. I am really impressed with your site and will recommend it to others.

Try the membership and test it out for yourself. I did, and fishing has never been better.

I joined MFCC because I wanted to get back into ocean fishing and surfcasting. After doing the trial one month membership and viewing the information and videos on the MFCC webpage, I knew this site was very different. Ryan gives all the members the ability to actively enjoy the membership by learning on their own, but also by going on fishing trips to meet other members and learn from Ryan and the other professional captains that work with him. Ryan has given me the opportunity to get the most out of my fishing experiences. If you enjoy fishing and want to become part of the MFCC community, try out the membership and test it out for yourself. I did and fishing has never been better.

We got an incredible amount of intel about where to fish, where to park and where to eat.

I’ve been a member of My Fishing Cape Cod for the last four years. This year, I decided to switch things up a bit and plan a June kayak fishing trip to the Brewster flats. I reached out to the MFCC community and the response was overwhelming. We got an incredible amount of intel about where to fish, where to park and where to eat. One of the members invited us to join him for an outing fishing the incoming tide on the flats. We had a blast! I just wanted to let everyone know what a valuable and generous resource we found MFCC to be. Keep up the great work!

John Lapenta - Member since 2014

I had a fabulous time going out with captain Cullen!

The fishing was awesome, the people fun to be with, and the BSB dinner that night was delicious. We have more fillets in the freezer for a few more yummy dinners. Thank you for setting up these terrific charters!

Gretchen Stiers - Member since 2018

Joined MFCC about 6 months ago. To date an overall great experience!

I've learned much from the articles, podcasts and of course forum which I read daily. I wear my MFCC hat whenever I'm out and I've already met another member on the beach as a result. I also enjoyed great success on trips with members who were kind enough to invite me out on their boats. Minimal resistance from wife so far despite her inability to comprehend why a man of 70 would choose to wake up at 3 am to catch a favorable tide.

Howard Hausman - Member since 2023

MFCC is worth every penny.

Thanks for continuing to upgrade My Fishing Cape Cod and reinvesting in the Members. The monthly dues are worth every penny.

Jay Walpole - Cape Cod Salties/MFCC member since 2015

My Fishing Cape Cod landed me my dream job!

A captain posted a first mate listing this spring on MFCC. Now I’m working as a mate on his boat. It’s incredible. Thanks for having such a great community!

Russ Glinos - Member since February 2021

Ryan answered all of my questions and heightened my passion for fishing

Being relatively inexperienced at fishing, spending time with Ryan and tapping into his vast knowledge has been wonderful. Ryan answered all of my questions and heightened my passion for fishing, without treating me like an amateur.

Jeanne Smallcomb - Member since July 2017

My approach and game plan has greatly improved, especially at the canal.

Thank you Ryan for the information you provide on My Fishing Cape Cod. Your website and team has allowed me to accumulate years of knowledge in a short time, and has brought more enjoyment to my fishing at the canal and surf. Catching fish is a bonus, but knowing I am well positioned for the fish of a lifetime is exciting and makes my time on the water more enjoyable.

My wife and I look forward to retiring on the Cape in a few years and I look forward to my toughest decisions being to fish, golf, or join my wife at the beach. Thank you for all you do and please keep the same approach you have now, no matter how big My Fishing Cape Cod may get. Your approach and sincerity in what you do serves you well in my opinion.

Ed Barron - Member since July 2016

I OWE IT ALL TO My Fishing Cape Cod

Caught a 39 incher at the Sandwhich bulkhead, Thursday 6AM, on a Sebile swimmer in mac color. Biggest I have ever caught and I owe it all to MFCC.

Mark Sullivan - Member since 2014

Awesome place - I wish I found it earlier.

I guess I didn’t expect this place to be that fantastic, with real anglers and enthusiasts, with so much content and activity (sharing and discussions. etc). Awesome place - I wish I found it earlier.

Marius Limbus - Member since 2020

MFCC is my great escape!

I work as a detective, and with all the horrible encounters that I manage daily, it is so nice to unwind while reading the MFCC site. Keep up the good work!

Cheyenne - Member since 2018

I can't say enough about My Fishing Cape Cod.

Between my group fishing trip last summer with captain Cullen, and my most recent surfcasting trip with Ryan, I've had some amazing experiences with MFCC. The trips, community and website have been a ton of fun.

Steve Davis - Member since 2016

It's a big one Dad!

Just wanted to say thanks to Ryan and My Fishing Cape Cod. My family and I spent the weekend at Smugglers Beach and all the advice and tips that Ryan provided were very helpful in catching stripers. My son was most impressed when I pulled that first striper from the ocean. It was especially nice meeting some of the local anglers, and just talking about fishing like I had known them forever. Then to top it all off we stopped at the Canal on the way home. On my second cast I hooked up with a nice one, as my son was jumping and yelling "It's a big one Dad" - Great times!

Donald Hayes - Member since January 2017

The amount of information Ryan's made available to members is unbelievable!

Paul Morgan - Joined MFCC in 2012

It is a breath of fresh air to open the MFCC membership forum / blogs / etc. at any point in time of the day & immediately begin feeling a sense of positivity and unity.

If I didn't come across My Fishing Cape Cod in my search to gain more knowledge, then I wouldn't have grasped the sport as quickly as I would have liked. This community is filled with people that love to fish, that want to preserve the fishery and enjoy the great outdoors. MFCC got me up to speed in a timely manner and got me excited for all the fishing possibilities I could encounter in the salt. It's a breath of fresh air to open MFCC and begin feeling a sense of positivity and unity.

Nicholas Caparell - Member since 2017

Thanks from a Canal newbie

Thanks to everyone on this site who help out Canal newbies like me. I had never fished the Canal until this week, and with the info on this site, the forums, and the members, I didn't feel lost or intimidated by the "Big Ditch."

Robert Cavicchio - Member since 2015

You lead a really great trip and we woke up this morning feeling pretty elated from our adventure.

"Last night was SO FUN!!! Brad and I have been sending the photos you took of us to family and friends, showing off our first-ever stripers. We learned so much and are eager to get back out again, we’ll be reading your forum to see where members are going and what they’re catching."

Beth Whitman - Member since 2021

Do yourself a favor and get onboard with My Fishing Cape Cod today!

My son and I have had amazing fishing adventures with My Fishing Cape Cod; catching (and bringing home fresh) Striped Bass, Blues, Mackerel, Black Sea Bass and more.

Tom Howie - Member since 2017

I've gone from struggling, to catching 100's of stripers per year.

Thank you to Ryan, and all the members of My Fishing Cape Cod. I have only been a member for a couple of years, but I have learned so much from listening to the podcasts, reading the insightful posts, lure suggestions, and all-around great information.

Chris Goguen - Member since 2015

Thank you for doing what you love

"Thank you for doing what you love so well, and for sharing it with all of of us who follow, learn from, and admire you."

David Kaplan - Member since 2018

I have learned practically everything I know about Striper fishing from your blog, and from other members on the site.

Ryan, I just wanted to reiterate how much I value the site you have created. I also value the ability to share my own success and failures with others throughout the season. My wife makes fun of me because I don’t do social media….except when it comes to MFCC when she frequently says… “are you on the fishing site again?!?”

Michael Tarnoff - Tufts University School of Medicine/MFCC Member since 2015

Please keep it up!

Ryan, I would like to mention how impressed I am by the subtle manner in which you weave an ecological sensibility and respect for the fish and the natural world into your articles, while avoiding anything that might seem political.

Paul Lacinski - Member since spring of 2023

Thanks for helping me catch tuna!

I joined My Fishing Cape Cod when I first moved to the Cape. Over the next three seasons I caught my first bluefin, followed by 9 more tunas from 60 to 85 inches. I owe a big thank you to MFCC, captain Cullen of Cape Star Charters, and the many others who helped me get started.

Captain Bob Hovey - Owner, Troll Naked Apparel

I love this site!

I love this site! Where else can you post a question, get a response, and yield success in a 2 hour window? Thanks for helping me catch my first striper on my fly rod!

Steve Kwietniak - Member since January 2015

You've helped my son build up his confidence as a fisherman.

Ryan - you've helped my son build up his confidence as a fisherman. I am not sure you really know what type of impression you have made on him. THANK YOU!

Kristin Walton

Your stuff works. It's proven!

I'm fairly new to the canal but used your jig and drop technique and man can I tell you, it payed off!

Alex - New canal angler

My Fishing Cape Cod has given me the "salt life" that I've yearned for!

Some of the greatest friendships and connections in my life right now are because of My Fishing Cape Cod. All of us have formed incredible life memories and we talk daily- we've all become super close.

I have great pride for MFCC and really respect it. Its brought so many beneficial aspects to my life. It's helped make me the angler I've been striving to be, and honestly given me the "salt life" that I've yearned for!

Matt Linsky - Member since 2015

I’m finding MFCC to be an excellent resource between the forums, blogs and videos.

I first discovered MFCC through your television program last year. My dad was excited to share an episode with me since it dealt with our region and the type of fish we liked to target. From that time on we made it a point to watch whenever a new episode would air. A few months back I decided to become a member of MFCC to learn more. Thanks for putting the work in to make content and facilitate this site.

Dave Lavallee - Member since February 2019

Last night was phenomenal and would only add that it perfectly aligned with what we hoped to get out of the evening.

We each had the thrill of catching a fish, but as important, you’ve given us the confidence to now go out on our own. We really appreciated that you answered detailed questions about things like tides and knots, on top of your willingness to share other locations on the Cape that we could explore, in addition to providing cooking and gardening tips. It was an absolute pleasure.

Brad Whitman - Member since 2021

One Of My Most Memorable Fishing Experiences Ever

Thank you for helping me put together a plan for the handful of days I was on Cape Cod. On my first night I hiked from Inman Beach to Swan River with great luck landing blues and stripers, using techniques mentioned throughout the website.

Daniel J. McCaffrey - Member since 2016

This is such a wonderful community!

I will start by saying this is such a wonderful community, and I have already learned so much from many of you-thank you all for that!

I wanted to take the time to shout out Capt. Steve Leary, an MFCC member. A few buddies and I were headed to the Cape this week to relax and do some fishing. One friend of ours suffered a spinal injury and is in a wheelchair.

This posed a few concerns for getting out on the water, but Capt. Steve and Capt. John of the Lucky Lady II couldn’t have made it a better experience. We reached out to Capt. Steve in advance, and he was quick to find us a boat that would accommodate us. Within hours of speaking with Capt. Steve we had a charter booked and were in great hands.

We had a great day on the water with Capt. John and his mate Blake. Caught lots of big blue fish, and schoolies. We also had the pleasure of meeting Capt. Steve before we headed out, thanks again Capt. Steve you’re the man! And thank you Ryan, and the MFCC community for all the resources and great people available to us all!

John Patrick - Member since June 2019

I finally caught my first fish on the Cape!

Ryan, after years trying to surf fish (and using everything you suggested) I finally caught my first fish on the Cape!

Linda Flowers - New Cape Cod Angler

i just can't say enough good things

I'd been following MFCC via email and Facebook for several months, before deciding to join. I think the MFCC site is AWESOME! Now that I'm a member, I'm sure I will enjoy the increased content that much more.

Jonas Moscartolo - Member since 2016

I’ll say my first year’s membership was definitely $ well spent.

What a great year! Best part was meeting some folks who are not only great fishermen, but just plain old good people. From adventures fishing new spots at night to riding heavy chop tossing docs, it was awesome.

Kevin Touhey - Member since December 2020

 I am thankful for the site and everything that I have learned

I am thankful for the site and everything that I have learned and continue to learn about fishing and the joy of living on the Cape with all its natural beauty.

Chris Koenig - Member since 2022

The MFCC family enabled me to fine tune my efforts to the point that I actually thought I knew what I was doing. 

This blog has continued to evolve throughout the years and continues to provide guidance, information and knowledge to the newest among us, as well as to the more mature and seasoned veterans. Of note is the fact that it has always been a place of sharing without judgement. Some of us older guys may not be as active in our posts as we used to be, but there never seems to be a lack of individuals ready to step in and offer their guidance and knowledge to those seeking to learn. It really is a unique environment for all.

Joe Strumski - Member since 2012

Thank you for your generous donations throughout 2019 totaling $600.00!

We are thrilled that you see the value in helping struggling parents raise thriving babies. We greatly appreciate you joining our mission to make that happen by supporting A Baby Center! By assisting over 1,500 children from low income households on Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard last year and donating over 250,000 free diapers to keep babies healthy and well, it is clear that the need is great in our local community. Because of kind donations such as yours, each visit our clients not only receive critical health and wellness items such as supplemental diapers, wipes and formula, but are also invited to select from our donated inventory of gently used clothing, equipment and other baby care items. Thank you for caring enough to make a difference in the future of the babies we serve!

The folks on this site are genuine, respectful and sincere.

Ryan you do a great job with MFCC and it’s obvious that it comes from the passion and caring that comes from within. With all that is wrong in this world it gives you hope and makes you proud. Thanks again for all you do.

David Ditata - Member since 2014

I’ve learned a lot from the MFCC site over the past few years.

Having the opportunity to spend several hours on the boat with Ryan was another excellent learning (and catching) experience. Ryan is an excellent teacher and he does it in such a way where you don’t feel silly for not already knowing how to do something – whether it is applying a certain technique, or simply forgetting to use your thumb to guide line back on to the reel properly. I learned 2-3 new techniques and now have a lot more confidence in my ability to find and catch fish.

Drew Hamilton - Member since 2013

The people in the forum are wonderful. Someone stole my bag while I was at the canal, so I posted about it inside the forum, with the thought of letting the other members know to be sure to watch their stuff carefully. To my surprise I had many offers (more than I could count!) from members who wanted to send me lures lures to help rebuild my stolen bag. There are just some wonderful people here on MFCC.
