Fishing reports, videos and more.
As we move into the winter season, I can’t help but reminisce about warm sunny days spent along the beaches of the Cape. Recently I’ve found myself daydreaming about the turquoise colors and clear water of the flats off Brewster. This lead me to an old post about a unique experience I had on an early …
After spending Day 1 at Cuttyhunk scouting and exploring the island, I was pretty eager to actually do some fishing on Day 2. On Day 1 the wind was blowing from the west at 20 mph which made fishing Cuttyhunk’s western-facing shoreline very challenging.
...Continued from the post Cuttyhunk Fishing Report | Day 2 I had fished just about every nook and cranny from the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club, to The Bowl, 3 Rocks right up to The Pyramids. So far I was 0-5 on fish. Even though I had not hooked a bass, broke my camera and put a hook …
Day 1 of fishing Cuttyhunk began at the leisurely hour of 12 noon. I’ll be the first to admit that bass fishing at noon time is typically not all that great, but I was here and it was October, so I might as well give it a shot. The only issue was the wind. There …
Fishing Cuttyhunk Island is something I have wanted to do since I read about Charlie Cinto’s 73 pound striped bass, caught off Cuttyhunk in 1967. Legendary stripers, like Cinto’s previous world record catch
...I let out a deep breath this past weekend while standing beneath a giant cliff that was so high I swear it blotched out the stars. It felt good to be alone on the beach, as it always does. The crystal clear skies, flat calm conditions and warm temperatures were really the icing on the …
Continued from the post Exploring Cape Cod’s Nooks & Crannies If you are looking to catch a big striped bass from shore during October on Upper Cape Cod, then the many boulder fields extending northward from the Cape Cod Canal is as good a spot as any to try. Stripers migrating south en route to …
There are still plenty of striped bass north of Cape Cod in places like Boston Harbor, Scituate and even along the New Hampshire coastline. Those fish have to move south at some point and when they do they will either go around the tip of the Cape, or move south through the Cape Cod Canal. …
Continued from the post Migrating Boulder Bass The first bite came virtually ontop of the submerged rock in front of me. I caught a glimpse of a bass behind my eel, so I paused my retrieve and the bass made his move. It was a small bass, and I watched him grab the eel by the …
The warm air temperature and clear sunny sky pushed me back into midsummer mode. I was standing barefoot in the sand gazing out at the wide open Atlantic, completely enveloped by the blue color of the water and sky. On the horizon was a whale watch boat, probably making one of its final trips of …
Continued from the post Lower Cape Cod Fishing Report Andrew was hooked up, right at the point where the perpendicular bar touched the shoreline. I reeled in my eel and hustled down the beach, towards the action.
...October is the month for cows on Cape Cod. The only 60 pound striped bass I know of have been caught during the 10th month, known to some local fisherman as “Hawgtober.” In my lifetime I only know of a handful of 60 pounders that have been taken from the Cape Cod area. If there’s …
