Ryan Collins It may be November and it’s no doubt getting late in the Cape Cod fishing season, but schoolie striped bass are still present on Cape in strong numbers.On Wednesday morning November 1st, I decided to do some surfcasting for stripers. It was the first time I had been on the beach in a …
Ryan Collins This week I’ve fished from Cape Cod Bay, to the Cape Cod Canal, south through Buzzard’s Bay and into the town of Falmouth, for albies and striped bass.Today while fishing from the 12ft tin boat, my friend Jason and I caught more than 40 stripers, “almost” caught an albie, and had a 400lb …
Garet Suomala Hello My Fishing Cape Cod friends. Its me again, yes Garet Suomala. I bet you all have missed me, since I have not been writing in a while. Sorry about that! So without further a-do, here we go. During this trip I had the privilege of going out fishing with my dad John, my …
Ryan Collins During September throughout Cape Cod & the Islands, small baitfish known locally as “peanut bunker” begin to move along the shoreline.These fish travel in large dense schools containing thousands upon thousands of fish. Needless to say the schools of peanut bunker often attract the attention of striped bass, bluefish, false albacore and sometimes …
Ryan Collins Not surprisingly, the old reliable tube and worm continues to work for myself and my crews as we inch towards the end of August. The tube and worm can be a lethal addition to your arsenal, especially if you primarily fish Cape Cod during daylight hours. There is just something about properly trolled tubes …
Ryan Collins Some people think trolling tube and worm for striped bass is boring, and I understand the reasons why.However for me, trolling the tube is exciting. Tube and worming is also one of the most effective ways to catch big bass on Cape Cod during the heat of August. Oftentimes when trolling tubes, the best hits come …
Ryan Collins This July my friend Jason and I have been catching big striped bass during broad daylight from our 12ft tin boat.With no sonar or GPS, catching big fish from the tin boat is definitely a more “primal” fishing experience, which is proving to be a ton of fun! I grew up fishing with …
Ryan Collins Summer is a special time to be a fisherman on Cape Cod. The fishing can be incredible, especially when bass school up on sand eels. This past June, massive schools of sand eels poured into Billingsgate Shoal during the month of June. This sparked prolonged topwater feeds as stripers slurped them off the surface. Back on …
Ryan Collins Yesterday morning while fishing a shallow water sandbar off Cape Cod, a school of hundreds of striped bass appeared from out of nowhere and began circling around my feet.Most of the fish were schoolies but I did see some bass in the 40 inch class swimming in about 3 feet of water just …
Shane Uriot On Sunday May 21st I was fortunate enough to head out on the MFCC group trip with Captain Cullen from Cape Star Charters. I arrived at the dock at 10 o’clock, and the group was already anxiously waiting for me on the boat. I made my way down the dock as quickly as I could, …
So far this December, in my annual search for the elusive holdover striped bass, my best success has been realized via kayak in the Sandwich & Barnstable area. In particular, trolling from the Hobie kayak has been hands down the most effective strategy for locating and catching holdover stripers. This is the technique I used to locate …
If you follow the Canal Today thread in our forum, then you’ll see folks are still catching schoolies, with the occasional keeper mixed in.
There have also been scattered reports of larger bass up to 30 pounds being seen and caught in the canal area over the past week.
Without a doubt, large stripers have become much more scarce and difficult to find all throughout Cape Cod and the Islands. However you still have a chance of hooking into a fish with some shoulders.
