With the heat of summer knocking at our door, good day-time bass fishing will most likely happen less frequently. So far this season on Cape Cod, past reliable hot spots like the Cape Cod Canal have been less productive than in past seasons (especially during the day). But there is hope for those who prefer …
(Continued from the post A Rare Day-Time Topwater Bass Bite) The bass bit very close to shore. Amazingly close to shore, much like that bite I got when fishing this boulder field field earlier in the season. It was exciting and caught me a bit off-guard. Because the fish hit so close, and had so much …
It had been a little while since my Dad tagged along on a surfcasting excursion. Generally he is more of a boat guy but he does thoroughly enjoy walking the beach and trails through the dunes. So as I settled in and began casting, my Dad chose to find a comfy place in the sand …
It had been a good trip, and I had caught fish, but I could not help but feel I had missed out on a few key opportunities. The 35 inch bass that swam by me in just 2 feet of crystal clear water, was one example. I had to leave because at high tide the …
Other stripers continued to pop and swirl on the surface as I reeled this first fish in towards the tidal flat on which I stood. It felt cool to be standing here, on a piece of sandbar, nearly one mile from dry land, with a fish on the line. The sun was setting and the …
Spring time is the right time for catching Atlantic mackerel. Mackerel are not just fun to catch, but they are good to eat, and they make great live baits for cow striped bass. During this trip my idea was to check out some of the better known mackerel fishing haunts, to see if the macks …
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 …
This trip actually began as a freshwater trip. I got all the way to Brewster before realizing I had forgotten my waders… This sort of thing happens to me somewhat often when I wake up anytime before 5AM. Instead of throwing myself a pity party, I decided to switch things up and head out into …
I am really fortunate to have grown up just a hop, skip and jump away from Cape Cod Bay. I was even luckier to have a 12 foot aluminum boat at my disposal, which I used as often as I could to chase striped bass and bluefish. Since then the boat has changed, and I …
Fishing in Brewster Massachusetts has to be one of the most unique fishing experiences in the entire state. In certain areas, during particular tides, the sandbars seem to stretch for miles in each and every direction. On a sunny and warm day it is easy to trick yourself into believing that you are fishing the …
Mazzola has a 23 foot Sea Craft center console which handles the seas much better than my 21 foot Hydra Sport. I would never think of heading out when the NE wind is blowing 15 in my boat. For the past few seasons just about all of our tuna fishing has been done via Mazzola’s …
Want to hook a tuna from shore? As ridiculous as that may be, now is your best chance to do it. Is there are a 60 pound striper in your future? If there is, then October is probably when it will happen. Looking to encounter a big shark, see a whale close to shore or …
