Fishing reports, videos and more.
I feel it’s safe to say that I have surpassed the 1,000 cast mark so far this season, and despite a couple nasty wind knots, I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of those 1,000 casts. I will be the first to admit, however, that casting is much more ...
I would like to say that the fish took off, pulling drag and screaming line from my reel. Or that he headed for the bottom, pumping and head shaking, as he pushed through the water column with his powerful tail. That kind of situation is not far off. Actually, we ...
I thought long and hard about where to fish today. I consulted all available resources, hoping to glean some tidbit of information that would lead me to that first big batch of migratory stripers. After spending 15 minutes surveying a particular estuary using Google Earth, I discovered a hidden access ...
Compared with my previous 28 years on this planet, this spring has been quite different. There have not been many warm days and as a result the April striper bite has been on the slow side. I hoped to change that today as I ventured deep into the backwaters of ...
The tide was higher, much higher than I have ever seen at this particular spot. I imagined that river herring would be using the tide to enter into the herring run which existed just upstream of my position. Perhaps an early arrival striped bass or two had also decided to ...
The bass are back! I am very happy to report that our striped friends are back on Cape Cod. It's been a long cold winter, but rest assured, the fish are here and more are on the way. In this report I catch my first striped bass of 2014, and ...
The mid-morning sun felt incredible. Spring is most certainly here on Cape Cod! Cormorants were diving in front of me and a sea gull was cracking open a mussel behind me. There was plenty of life around and the atmosphere even felt fishy. I had once again decided to fish ...
Fishing Buzzard's Bay is a great idea right now, because striped bass often show up in Buzzard's Bay before they show up in other areas of the Cape. In recent years my first striper of the season has been caught in Buzzard's Bay. In this trip I fished numerous locales ...
Despite being so far into the upper reaches of this estuary, there was still a fantastic chance that I would find stripers. Hungry spring stripers have no problem following River Herring way back into estuaries, virtually into freshwater. Conditions were picture perfect and there was bait around. I had a ...
There was not a soul around as I made my way into the woods. It was only minutes before I saw another hawk, and then an osprey flying high in the sky. I feel that having these birds around is a good sign because they too are hoping to catch ...
I enjoy striper fishing Buzzard's Bay from shore because the area is so diverse. Depending on the location you may be fishing around huge boulders, channels, inlets, sand bars or estuaries. Needless to say Buzzard's Bay has many cool striper surfcasting opportunities. In this post I am going to do ...
Day 1 of fishing Cuttyhunk began at the leisurely hour of 12 noon. I'll be the first to admit that bass fishing at noon time is typically not all that great, but I was here and it was October, so I might as well give it a shot. The only ...
