Fishing reports, videos and more.
The bass are back! I am very happy to report that our striped friends are back on Cape Cod. It’s been a long cold winter, but rest assured, the fish are here and more are on the way. In this report I catch my first striped bass of 2014, and share with you ideas for …
Cold, wet, windy and rainy best described the conditions as I stepped foot onto the beach. I knew the odds of catching my first striper of the season on such a cold and raw day were slim, but I could not help but at least give it a try. I had already caught stripers by …
I was fishing the first part of the incoming tide, which I definitely prefer at this location. The area can be challenging to fish at high tide because water floods through the entire marsh. At high tide I need a really long cast to reach fishy territory, which isn’t possible when I am using my …
The mid-morning sun felt incredible. Spring is most certainly here on Cape Cod! Cormorants were diving in front of me and a sea gull was cracking open a mussel behind me. There was plenty of life around and the atmosphere even felt fishy. I had once again decided to fish Buzzard’s Bay, which has been …
Fishing Buzzard’s Bay is a great idea right now, because striped bass often show up in Buzzard’s Bay before they show up in other areas of the Cape. In recent years my first striper of the season has been caught in Buzzard’s Bay. In this trip I fished numerous locales throughout Buzzard’s Bay, in search …
Despite being so far into the upper reaches of this estuary, there was still a fantastic chance that I would find stripers. Hungry spring stripers have no problem following River Herring way back into estuaries, virtually into freshwater. Conditions were picture perfect and there was bait around. I had a good feeling as I continued …
I’m excited for this week, because I feel there’s a great chance that at least a few fresh migratory stripers will move into the waters off Cape Cod. I’m ready to hit the sand and splash the boat, knowing I have a legitimate chance of putting a bend in the rod. In this post I’d …
Earlier this week I was able to squeeze in another early-spring Cape Cod fishing adventure. Stripers could arrive any day now on Cape Cod and I will admit that I am pretty excited. During this trip I hoped I would stumble across one of those very rare keeper-size holdover striped bass that I have been …
There exists on Cape Cod a fish which eludes most saltwater fishermen for the entirety of their lives. Even anglers who specifically target this fish, expect to make 1,000 or more, well placed casts, before ever generating a bite. I am not referring to the super elusive giant bluefin tuna, which will soon roam the …
Man was it nice to be outside this weekend. I hope you were able to enjoy this fantastic weather! After hearing a rumor about a keeper striped bass being weighed in at a one of our local Cape Cod bait and tackle shops, I decided I had to investigate.

I feel that by saying I am going to catch a 40lb bass from the beach this season, I automatically increase the odds of it occurring. It’s the Law Of Attraction, in action. Of course fish do as they please, and I understand that there are no guarantees in fishing. Mother Nature will make the final …
