Continued from the post An Epic Night in the Surf | Cape Cod Shore Fishing Report The bass was not happy when I set the hook. He shot into the air and watched his white belly twist and turn in the moonlight, before he fell back down into the water. The serene and perfectly quiet …
I think the fall run of striped bass has just started here on Cape Cod. If you were on the water yesterday, I bet you noticed that slight chill in the air around 6AM. I haven’t had cool air like that in my lungs since May. The 48 degree oxygen made me feel alive, and …
Earlier in the week my Mom, Dad and I caught some nice striped bass fishing live eels from my boat. That’s great and all, but if you are like me, nothing beats catching a big striper from the beach. To catch a nice striper from shore was my goal late last night, as I walked out …
Continued from the post Live Eel Shore Fishing Report | August 22 My heart was officially pounding now. I had not expected to find good size bass on this trip. Of course I hoped I would, as always. Yet the odds are against you when fishing from the beach. I was incredibly excited. I was fishing …
There was a “nip” in the air the other morning when I woke up, which to me is a clue that summer is waning. I love late summer on Cape Cod, more so than any other time of the year. The hot and muggy air is dissipating, and the bass bite on truly large stripers …
“Years ago I would get spooled fishing that beach” said the man behind the counter at the bait shop. “We would catch them, but every once in a while we would hook one that we could not stop.” Just hearing those words got me excited. I had spent the past 48 hours prepping tackle and …
I stepped foot onto the sand of outer Cape Cod and was greeted by pitch black darkness, a sky full of stars and a wild bunny rabbit. A howling south west breeze whipped over the mounds of sand, through the eel grass and out over the Atlantic. I stood there for a moment breathing it …
Continued from the post A Night on the National Seashore | July 3 Cape Cod Surf Fishing Report About 50 feet out my eel was stopped dead in its tracks by the relentless southwest wind. A moment after the eel plopped into the water, the current engulfed it and pushed it towards the open Atlantic. Several …
I can sense that I am once again starting to turn into a nocturnal creature. The past couple of nights I have been up all night, going to bed when the rest of Cape Cod is just waking up. It’s amazing the influence a little fish can have on your lifestyle. Yet I love this …
Before I jump into this report, I want to share with you a quick tip for fishing the back waters of estuaries with live eels. Many of the bass you will encounter will be on the smaller end of the spectrum. To give yourself a chance of hooking these small bass, while still also enticing …
I will remember this morning for as long as I live. Actually, I will probably remember this trip after I die too. After sleeping like a rock through what was apparently some of the most intense lightning storms Cape Cod has experienced in quite some time, I popped right out of bed at the leisurely …
Continued from the post Big Time Bass Blitz | June 25 Cape Cod Surfcasting Report The bass charged the shoreline and overwhelmed the shallows. I was standing in less than a foot of water and there were big bass BEHIND me. As hard as it was for me to do this, I put down my rod …
