This report is a bit out-dated. Click here for the latest Cape Cod Canal fishing report.
The rain was whipping and the wind was howling in my face as I pedaled my 1980's bicycle down the Cape Cod Canal's service road. I had heard rumors of decent size striped bass recently being caught in the Big Ditch, so I felt motivated despite the difficult weather conditions. Fish of course, do not care much about the rain.
It was just about dead low tide and the current would switch to the east at any moment. As I pedaled down the bike path I noticed boulders and rocks that are usually covered with water. The recent full moon created big minus tides, which revealed areas of the Canal not often seen with the naked eye.
The air smelt fishy and I had a good feeling about what I may encounter.
