10 Miles Down, 17 to Go | Surfcasting Cape Cod’s Great Beach

20  comments

As of 5PM on Friday September 18th, I have reached Cahoon Hollow in Wellfleet and am en route to Newcomb Hollow.

My legs feel great and I'm ready to catch some fish as soon as the sky gets dark.

Today has been mostly about logging miles and taking in the sights. It's been a terrific trek so far.

​Plus I have encountered thousands upon thousands of peanut bunker, which striped bass love to feed upon. The stage is set!

Tonight I will definitely focus more on the fishing. Typically striped bass feed better and move in closer to shore during the night. This will present me with my best chances of catching fish.

I will let you know tomorrow morning how things go. In the meantime MFCC members can click the orange download button below to see a selection of photos from today's adventure.

  • Looks like you had a great adventure.thank you for sharing it with us.im sure it wasn’t all fun and games.27 miles in the sand not that easy I’m guessing.sure you missed your girl to.thanks again,it will feel good to sleep without coyotes licking they lips.lol

    • Even just 2 nights spent out in the elements really makes me appreciate a warm house and comfortable bed so much more. I think I was starting to take all the creature comforts for granted!

    • Thank God the weather cooperated. During the day it was HOT and then at night it was cold and damp. I was shivering at times. It must be so cold out there right now at night with this brisk NE wind blowing.
