Canal, Cape Cod Bay & Buzzards Report With Connor Swartz of Red Top

by Kevin Collins

The fall run on Cape Cod has kicked into high gear, and by all accounts, this week has been the most productive period of the entire season. Connor Swartz of Red Top Sporting Goods in Buzzards Bay reports that from the legendary Cape Cod Canal to the expansive flats and boulder fields of Cape Cod Bay, anglers are experiencing the kind of consistent action that makes Cape Cod a world-class fishing destination.

In this report, Connor goes into great detail on:

  • Productive fishing areas inside Cape Cod Bay this weekend
  • Lures that worked best for him and his partner during the MFCC 36-Hour Grind
  • The Cape Cod Canal's best week of the season and perhaps in multiple seasons
  • Where inside the Canal holds the best opportunities for top water
  • Spots to jig the Cape Cod Canal at night for BIG striped bass
  • Post full moon tides that will fish well this weekend at the canal
  • Cape Cod Bay readies for a big north wind for the second half of this long weekend
  • Tautog in Buzzards Bay is red hot
