The spring migration of striped bass is about 3 weeks away from reaching Cape Cod. Fishing for squid, haddock and tautog will also heat up as we progress into the month of April.
This podcast was recorded on April 9th, and in this show you'll get fishing reports from Ryan Collins, MFCC members Bruno Demir and John Figmic, and Erik Wisniewski from the Goose Hummock Shops.
Our next fishing report podcast will be two weeks from today, but once the Cape Cod saltwater fishing season really gets going we will plan on publishing these fishing reports and podcasts weekly.

Calling all fish burger fans!! This sauce is a total game changer.
With just a few pantry staples and about 5 minutes of your time, you can quickly make it while your burgers are cooking and store leftovers for up to a week.
So far we've tested this sauce with shrimp burgers, mahi burgers, drizzled over fish tacos and used as a dip with fries.
Hello My Fishing Cape Cod! My name is Doug Peebles and I've been a member of My Fishing Cape Cod since August of 2020.
I split my fishing time between Cape Cod and Florida, and I often fish alone 10-20 miles offshore. Recently I emailed Ryan to let him know about a new kill switch regulation which is starting on April 1, 2021.
The saltwater fishing season is still several weeks away, but freshwater fishing on Cape has been red hot. Today we have a lineup of guests who are ready to share their latest fishing reports with you.
This is the earliest in the season we have ever published one of these fishing reports. Can you tell we are just a little bit excited for spring fishing!?
Our next fishing report podcast will be two weeks from today, but once the Cape Cod saltwater fishing season really gets going we will plan on publishing these fishing reports and podcasts weekly.
Each spring, herring migrate from the open ocean into Cape Cod streams and rivers.
For centuries on Cape Cod, river herring were harvested for many different reasons. However today, they are a protected species.
According to what I've heard, herring have so far been spotted in Middleboro and Orleans. Have you seen any herring? Please let me know by commenting below!
I personally have not yet seen any, although I haven't really been looking for them. Last year I spotted herring for the first time at the Bournedale herring run on April 9th.
Lobster fishing has been entrenched in our history for centuries. In colonial times, it was seen as peasant food made for the lower class citizens.
That notion has shifted dramatically since those times. Lobster is now one of the staple seafoods across the country and we’re lucky to have such an abundant resource right here in our New England waters!
Lobster can be made into a variety of dishes, from simple boiled lobster dinner to the more elaborate clambake. There’s no limit to what you can make with these tasty aquatic "bugs".
Many people don’t realize that fishing for these crustaceans is not only for the commercial fleet. Recreational fishermen, like myself, can do it too.
In this article, I'll share with you 8 tips for getting started recreational lobstering in Massachusetts.
Yellow perch are native to Cape Cod's ponds, and fishing for yellow perch with lures and live bait can be very productive during late winter and early spring.
This past week on March 9th I headed out freshwater fishing in hopes of catching enough big yellow perch to make a meal.
Regardless of whether or not I caught any fish, I knew the simple act of getting back on the water would feel mighty good. I don't know about you, but Spring is almost here and I am excited to be fishing again.
You can continue reading below for my latest yellow perch freshwater fishing report.
