Continued from the post Kayak Fishing Woods Hole & Barnstable Harbor | June 18 Report As we eased our way in towards the rocky point, I wondered how in the world we were going to land our kayaks among the boulders. It’s a good thing sea conditions were flat calm, because I highly doubt we would

It’s been a wet and wild past few days here on Cape Cod. Tropical systems usually don’t hit the Cape this early in June, but in New England anything is possible with the weather. Before the rain began falling down in buckets I was able to sneak out on the boat with some friends from

Continued from the post Big Fish on Top Right off the bat we knew this was a better fish. It put one hell of a bend in Andrew’s setup, and even peeled a few yards of line from the reel. After a minute or so Andrew decided it was time to prepare to land this

Cape Cod boasts miles upon miles of expansive sandbars, flats and tidal pools. In some areas crystal clear water and fine sand extend as far as the eye can see.

The wind blew hard out of the north for the greater part of yesterday. Yet once early afternoon rolled around the breeze died down, and the seas flattened right out. It looked like it was going to be a beauty of a evening. Mazzola gave me a ring and asked if I wanted to splash
