I've been thinking about this recipe for months, and when I finally put it to the test, I literally jumped for joy and had to call my Mom immediately. It is so good.
Creamy and thick New England clam chowder get's turned into a dip, perfect for those lazy Sunday football days and so easy to whip up.
In just a few short steps, you can make a super thick and creamy New England clam chowder that's then broiled to crispy perfection with panko on top, then served with saltines or pita crackers.
The wind is howling on Cape and the waves are huge! However, some of the protected coves and bays are producing awesome blitzes with bass on peanut bunker.
This fishing adventure began yesterday morning before sunrise.The trees in my yard were swaying back and forth, and rain was starting to fall, as I drove out of my neighborhood to the beach.
I knew conditions would be pretty miserable, but being outside during inclement weather makes me feel alive. Feeling the sharp sting of an October Nor' Easter on my face is a sure fire way of waking up in the morning!
Last night the wind was blowing 35 knots out of the north and it was cold! Nevertheless, striped bass of up to 36 inches were biting jigs fished off the bottom.
My evening of fishing began with 2 year My Fishing Cape Cod member, Mike Marcus. Mike was kind enough to call me in on a hot bite!
I really appreciate it whenever a member of MFCC gives me intel and information. Thank you Mike and thank you to all the other members who share helpful information in our members-only forum.
Recently I have been having a ton of fun observing wildlife from above using my drone. For example, last Friday morning I filmed this school of blitzing stripers.
A few days earlier on September 24th I captured another surprise under a bright bluebird sky and perfectly sunny conditions.
At first I wasn't sure what I was looking at, but as I lowered the drone for a closer look I realized it was a large adult grey seal cruising calmly and peacefully through weed beds.
Surfcasting the beach on Cape Cod during a nor' easter can be a challenge, with big waves and often a lot of weed - but it can also produce great fishing.
However, fishing in these difficult conditions can be extremely difficult, and at times pretty dangerous. For example, I don't recommend wading or going any deeper than shin deep water during a storm, due to strong currents and riptides.
Nevertheless great surf fishing can occur during nor' east storms when large schools of baitfish (especially peanut bunker) get swept up in the waves and pinned against the shoreline.
