There have not been many small tuna around this season, unless you are willing to fish way east of Chatham. As of last week the vertical jig bite at Regal Sword was pretty incredible, but I am unsure of whether this is still going on. Closer to home the nearshore waters have been pretty devoid

Last weekend’s NE breeze definitely sparked some life inside Cape Cod Bay and the Cape Cod Canal. The Canal quieted down on Saturday, but did fish very well on Thursday and Friday. Cape Cod Bay fished well for us on Saturday and produced at least a few bass here and there for guys fishing on

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

Cape Cod Canal My week began Tuesday morning at the Cape Cod Canal. I had been hearing scattered reports of large stripers chasing mackerel from the East End down to the Power Plant, so I figured a quick trip to check things out was warranted. My actual plan was to fish from the boat, however

It was dark at 3:30 this morning in the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The air was warm and dense, and there was not a hint of wind. I could tell it was going to be a perfectly sunny, and hot, summer day. My plan was to fish Plymouth’s rocky coastline, an area which holds striped

We found fish early on in this trip which was great, however we really only got one shot at them before they disappeared. Lucky for us Lauren had the hot hand and was able to hook into a good one before the school vanished into the abyss. I did not weigh the bass but I
