Continued from the post Big Fish on Top Right off the bat we knew this was a better fish. It put one hell of a bend in Andrew’s setup, and even peeled a few yards of line from the reel. After a minute or so Andrew decided it was time to prepare to land this

Cape Cod boasts miles upon miles of expansive sandbars, flats and tidal pools. In some areas crystal clear water and fine sand extend as far as the eye can see. On a sunny day it is easy to confuse the turquoise shallows of Cape Cod with the tropical lagoons of Australia’s Whitsunday Islands, or the

Continued from the post Sandbar Stripers | May 28 Report The bass really did come out nowhere. There was no swirl, footprint or any other indication of bass in the pool. Either way the fish had found my bait and managed to attach himself to the business end of my line. After a quick battle I

Continued from the post An Off-Road Adventure | Memorial Day Weekend Report This was no monster, but I didn’t really care that much. It just feels good to catch a fish after logging in that much driving and walking. After a very quick fight I had the small schoolie in the wash by my boots.

The wind blew hard out of the north for the greater part of yesterday. Yet once early afternoon rolled around the breeze died down, and the seas flattened right out. It looked like it was going to be a beauty of a evening. Mazzola gave me a ring and asked if I wanted to splash

Continued from the post Sunset Stripers | May 17 Cape Cod Fishing Report I could tell right off the bat that this was a decent fish, because he pulled more line from the reel than any other fish so far this season. The bass continued heading down current, but with no rocks or debris in the

  Click here for the latest Cape Cod Bay fishing report I have been fortunate to have fished Cape Cod Bay each May since I was around 6 years old. As a youngster, the month of May was a time to catch mackerel from the Scusset Beach jetty. I vividly recall epic mackerel bites while

Continued from the post Cape Cod Fishing Spot of the Month | Cape Cod Bay The first step in yesterday’s trip was to load the live well full of live mackerel.

Yesterday was flat calm and sunny, which meant it was time to splash the Miss Loretta and head out onto Cape Cod Bay. As I prepped the boat yesterday I could not help but think about this past Thanksgiving, which was the last time I was out on the water. I find it amazing how

Continued from the post Cape Cod Bay Fishing Report | May 7 I turned the bow and pointed it eastward, to where we hoped we would find some bass. We had a fair amount of sunlight left, but I couldn’t help but feel slightly pressed for time. We had plenty of bait – what we

Continued from the post The Search for a Keeper I began casting the same small Storm Shad I have been using all this week. I was targeting a keeper, but really anything over 20 inches would be a score. I find it hard to tinker with what has been working, so I decided to stick
