The fall run of striped bass is underway on Cape Cod. I just got word of big stripers up to 32 pounds in skinny water, in areas that have not seen big bass since June. Right now is a phenomenal time of the year to be a fishing nut. This ...
As is often the case, the honey hole which has been producing so well for me recently, completely dried up this week. I am confident that big bass will return to that particular spot, yet until that happens it is time to explore and find new surfcasting hot spots. One ...
Continued from the post Lower Cape Cod Fishing Report | Searching for a Fifty On one horizon the last of the sun was disappearing behind the dunes. On the other, a nearly full moon was rising above the Atlantic. There was not a cloud above us, which meant that we were ...
The largest striped bass I have ever caught from shore weighed 45 pounds. Catching that fish was an incredible experience, but needless to say, I am pretty eager to break the 50 pound mark. Recently I was able to hook and land a 30 pound bass from the beach, which tells ...
Every once in a while, if you stick at this fishing thing long enough, you end up hitting a hot streak. This past week has been red hot for me from the beach, with numerous fish in the 20 - 30 pound class. Yet I know things could change in ...

I thought about this the other night as I walked past rocks and boulders deposited by receding glaciers. How many huge stripers have ...
I often catch myself imagining what fishing on Cape Cod was like “way back when.” I like to picture Cape Cod without the bridges and marinas, when it was still a wild place. Can you imagine what the fishing must have been like 1,000 years ago? It may be difficult ...

Continued from the post Close-to-Shore Shark Fishing Report When you are fishing a live bluefish and a rod goes down, whatever is on your line has some size. The moments following such a bite are critical, and the decisions an angler makes (or fails to make) can be the difference between ...
