Fishing reports, videos and more.
Ryan CollinsSlow-trolling live eels is a super effective way of fooling big striped bass on Cape Cod, especially during late summer and early fall. Slow-trolling is a relatively simple technique to learn, and in this video tutorial I will try to explain all the details of this deadly kayak tactic.For this trip, I “mother shipped” the …
Every so often I like to invite a My Fishing Cape Cod member with me on my fishing excursions. Earlier in the season I fished with MFCC member Jeff Richard and we did real well from the beach on Outer Cape Cod (you can read that report here). Recently Dick Glockner, who has been supporting 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 …
If you are like me then you are really starting to chomp at the bit. Spring is right around the corner and so are the fish. The first migratory striped bass will be on the small side, but soon thereafter we’ll start seeing much larger stripers. Each spring on Cape Cod bass as large as …
It’s been one heck of a season for Cape Cod Bay fishing. Good striped bass fishing began way back in the month of May, and after a short lull, picked up again in late July. Recently folks fishing Cape Cod Bay have caught bass up to and beyond 50 pounds. The question on everyone’s mind …
Earlier in the week I published a post about how well live eels work on striped bass here on Cape Cod during late summer and early fall. Whether you are fishing from a boat or from shore, from Provincetown to Woods Hole, eels work great on big striped bass. I was thinking about this post …
I was feeling a little groggy as I pulled the truck and trailer into the parking lot at Saquatucket Harbor, located in the town of Harwich, MA. Once I opened the driver’s side door, the air conditioned cabin gave way to the sulfuric smell of a lowish tide, which helped a little to wake me …
Fishing off Cape Cod can be a real mystery at times. Just when you think you have the fish figured out, they throw you a curve ball and keep you guessing. I was talking to one of the most productive commercial striped bass fisherman I know today, and he pretty much summed it up by …
As I write this Cape Cod fishing report the wind is howling at close to 30 mph from the northeast. This morning I drove by the Sandwich Marina, after fishing the Cape Cod Canal, and there was not a single truck and trailer in the parking lot. My guess is the 3-5 foot waves have …
This Cape Cod fishing trip would begin with flat calm seas and end with miles of stripers. It is trips like this one that really amaze me and make me appreciate the current status of the striped bass fishery. I don’t think a trip like this one would be possible during the crash of the …
This Cape Cod Bay fishing report will cover this entire past week, from Plymouth all the way down to Billingsgate Shoal. I burnt some serious gas the past few days and logged quite a few miles in an effort to find the bite. I am actually quite happy to be on land today-it’s a nice …
The seas were flat calm with overcast skies and a little fog as Lauren and I splashed the boat. It’s been a little while since I used my boat, so it felt good to be back on the water. I think Lauren was excited too, considering this was her first time on the water this …
