The Cape Cod Canal remains one of the most dynamic fishing venues in New England, but this year’s patterns have thrown experienced anglers a curveball.

...As we move into the summer season, I can’t help but think about warm sunny days spent along the beaches of the Cape. Recently I’ve found myself daydreaming about the turquoise colors and clear water of the flats off Brewster. This lead me to an old post about a unique experience I had on this very …
When I signed up for my winter flounder MFCC group trip on March 22nd for Memorial Day, May 26th, the wait seemed like an eternity. The unseasonably cold weather of the previous week gave me pause about being out in the open water, but thankfully the weather gods cooperated and gave us a gorgeous day …
As the calendar flips to June and the first hints of summer weather grace Cape Cod, local anglers are experiencing some of the most productive fishing conditions of the year.

...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.

Memorial Day weekend marks the start of the summer fishing season on Cape Cod, and this year’s early reports are painting an exciting picture for anglers ready to get back on the water.

...The 2025 fishing season on Cape Cod is off to a stellar start, with multiple species already providing excellent action throughout the region. According to MFCC Member, Bruno Demir,

There’s been some amazing striped bass caught on Cape Cod over the past few days! Most notably, My Fishing Cape Cod member Grant Stark posted a photo in our forum to the Surfcasters’ Thread of a beautiful 45-46 inch striper he caught from shore just the other day on May 8th. This fish is Grant’s …
