Yesterday morning I fished the wide open beach for the first time in a long time. The wind was howling, the waves were huge, the rain was pounding and the fish were around.
I even watched an enormous humpback whale do a full breach! The whale soared up out of the ocean and came crashing back down, sending white water high into the sky. It was nuts!
The video below recaps the best fish of the morning-a bass I estimated to weight at least 25 pounds.
MFCC members can also click below for 2 Google Earth images of the sand bar where I was fishing.

I’ll be up from the 16th to the 21st. Glad to hear the fishing is great. Perfect timing for vacation.
Excellent time of the year!
Perfect! I plan on hitting coast guard beach. Early Friday am. Maybe the canal over the weekend.
I’ll be at Coast Guard before sunrise tomorrow (Friday AM). I won’t be there long however because I’ll be hiking north all the way to Race Pt.
Maybe I will see you!
Whats a good beach for surf casting
Plenty of great beaches on Cape for surfcasting. I think you’ll discover many places by growing the reports and videos on MFCC.

Well I’m here hoping to get help for catching my first big striper. So excited!!!
It’s great to have you onboard Oskee! Definitely explore around the site and be sure to introduce yourself in the forum too.
Nice stuff. I could see the mung on the line was that a problem? In those conditions out there, even in less wind but that direction, I sometimes run into that making it unfishable after a while.
After a couple hours of heavy wind, I noticed that mung was becoming an issue. It was not bad at first but it definitely got progressively worse.
I think using a topwater plug may of helped minimize the amount of mung I picked up on the line.
Epic!
It was a great morning!
Ryan ,”Thank you ” for taking my Dad and I out ?Thursday nite in the rain . We had a great time. ?? Your amazing . ? The time flew by much too fast, can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures and videos you took. We can’t wait to go out with you again when I’m back at the Cape, keep up the web site, it is truly exciting ,informative and eye opening . Enjoy your Vacation! Dan Wagner Dad ( Ed )
Thank you Dan and tell Ed thank you as well! That was a memorable trip which I will never forget. Let’s definitely connect next time you’re in town.
Sweet! Great Pix….
didn’t get to see the closeup of the lure you were using! 🙂
Hey Dave, I just added a photo of the plug I was using.
Let me know if you decide to pick one up from Canal Bait & Tackle! I appreciate the support!
SWEET conditions, Ryan! Good effort seizing the opportunity!!
Also, when do you begin your hike?
The surf was intense! I enjoyed every second.
Weather is looking good for the backside beach hike. I hope to start on Friday and finish up at some point over the weekend, God willing.
I just checked Google Earth and I think the hike will be closer to 30 miles (as opposed to the 23 miles I mention in this post > https://myfishingcapecod.com/23-miles/)
I’m crossing my fingers for a west wind which will make for pleasant conditions during that hike. However a good NE blow could bring the fish in again close along that stretch from Nauset to Ptown, like they did yesterday.
Great video of the battle!
Thanks Ryan! And nice work getting your Dad on some big fish this week!
The fishing is really good right now! Just need to put in the time
