Fishing reports, videos and more.
Captain Jason Colby This past Sunday I fished with Matt Newman of Newton and his sons Zach and Adien. They caught their limit of tog in “tough conditions” on the close inshore rockpiles with several fish approaching 7 pounds and one that was over that mark, caught by Adien. Even though I had two anchors …
Capt. Jason Colby So the wind was blowing a bit today and the waves were a little high, but that doesn’t matter…right? After all we are fishermen and fisherwomen!Actually for this trip, we did have a woman on the boat and she did get seasick, but not before she caught a few good fish and …
This morning was windy and chilly on Buzzard’s Bay! Nevertheless I set off for tautog with MFCC contributors John D. Silva and captain Jason Colby of Little Sister Charters. The plan was to capture some video and some keeper-size tog for the box.I am happy to report that the trip was a success.
...To say that this past weekend’s tog bite was “rather slow” would of been an understatement! The water temps need a little work but at least they are headed in the right direction. I suspect that with the cooler weather the past few nights and with the waning moon later in the week, we will …
Over the past several days I’ve run a total of 8 charters, mostly for striped bass. I have a couple more striper trips coming up this week before sea bass starts on May 23rd.My most recent trips have been similar to our MFCC group trip from a couple weeks back. It’s been mostly plugging with …
Catching tautog from shore on Cape Cod during the spring is a blast! Plus it is super simple fishing. No expensive gear or boat required.In this post I’ll share with you a quick video overview of the concept, and also provide MFCC members with some locations I feel will produce tautog from shore this spring.
...Tautogs are a popular, fun and delicious fish to catch from a boat. An anchor, rocky nook, and some green crabs are all you need. Of course that is bare-bones minimum, and there is no doubt that a top-notch sonar, chart plotter, boat and captain, will help you put tog in the boat. But how …
I felt slightly bad for “stealing” Andrew’s fish out from under him. However I feel he didn’t mind all that much as long as one of us fooled the fish! For its size the tautog pulled quite well and I was nearly sure the fish would be of keeper size. Yet I still had work …
The wind was howling as my friend Jason Mazzola and I traveled through the Cape Cod Canal on his boat the “Sue-Sea-Q” south towards Buzzard’s Bay. This was going to be a wet and sloppy fishing trip. The rain began to pour as we approached the Railroad Bridge. This was my first time on the …
The squawking of the terns and birds was like music to my ears. Since I was a little kid I have associated these sounds with good fishing, and I always feel a jolt of excitement when I hear terns crying. Jay motored me within casting distance of the diving birds. I had tied on a …
Catching tautog from shore on Cape Cod is not something I have ever tried before. But after seeing tautog all over the place this past week while surf fishing for stripers, I decided I had to give it a try. I am no tautog expert but I do know they absolutely love green crabs. Tautog …
Continued from the post A Double Header of Tautog and Stripers from Shore That first tautog was actually quite challenging for me to catch. I began the trip by using one of those generic tautog rigs that is made out of heavy wire and all sorts of terminal tackle. Something like the rig in the …
