Continued from the post Exploring Cape Cod’s Nooks & Crannies If you are looking to catch a big striped bass from shore during October on Upper Cape Cod, then the many boulder fields extending northward from the Cape Cod Canal is as good a spot as any to try. Stripers migrating south en route to

Continued from the post Migrating Boulder Bass The first bite came virtually ontop of the submerged rock in front of me. I caught a glimpse of a bass behind my eel, so I paused my retrieve and the bass made his move. It was a small bass, and I watched him grab the eel by the

It’s been one heck of a season for Cape Cod Bay fishing. Good striped bass fishing began way back in the month of May, and after a short lull, picked up again in late July. Recently folks fishing Cape Cod Bay have caught bass up to and beyond 50 pounds. The question on everyone’s mind

The consistent early September bite that everyone has been enjoying on the Bay ended between the 19th and 20th of this month. The biomass of bass simply disappeared and most likely shot through the Canal into towards Buzzard’s Bay. I was out there on September 18th and 19th and enjoyed some spectacular fishing. Most folks

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

Continued from the post Close-to-Shore Shark Fishing Report When you are fishing a live bluefish and a rod goes down, whatever is on your line has some size.

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

This Cape Cod Bay fishing report will cover this entire past week, from Plymouth all the way down to Billingsgate Shoal. I burnt some serious gas the past few days and logged quite a few miles in an effort to find the bite. I am actually quite happy to be on land today-it’s a nice

Continued from the post Cape Cod Bay Fishing Report July 14-18 Sunday July 14 Despite a fast start last Sunday, the limited amount of bass holding in the stretch from the East End of the Cape Cod Canal to Dennis fell off dramatically. I already wrote up a report for this particular trip which you

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
