Just about any beach on Cape Cod has the potential to cough up at least a fish or two.  However you can increase your odds of catching a fish by bringing the family and or significant other to areas that have some sort of structure or fish-attracting feature. This could be a boulder field, a

Combining Beach Days with Fishing

Cape Cod Bay As of right now the weather is looking pretty good for this coming week.  I just checked and it’s looking like southerly winds around 10 mph for the majority of the week.  Of course I bet the wind forecast will change a bunch of times throughout the week, but at least they

I was surprised to see the vast amounts of mackerel that I saw this past week on Cape Cod Bay.  I think it is a great sign of a strong summer of fishing on the Bay. The last time I saw this many mackerel during July was back in 2010.  That year the late July

I was very surprised by the amount of mackerel we found this morning off the East End of the Canal.  Thanks to a few tips from guys here on the blog, we were able to load up on the macks before sunrise and once again bring them down to Barnstable Harbor. Mazzola was out on

It seems like the mackerel are starting to fade away from Cape Cod Bay.  Don’t get me wrong, you can still find great mackerel fishing in certain areas of the Bay.  A few guys have reported incredible mack fishing this week – however I spent an hour today and caught 10 mackerel in areas where

The fishing today was not great, however I’m going to blame it on the weather! We had to depart from Billingsgate Shoal due to an increasing NW wind, but on the way back to Barnstable I swung in over the southern edge of the Shoal.  I did mark quite a few bass along the edge.

Cape Cod Bay I would recommend checking out a few areas in the Bay this weekend.  The fishing has been good so I would expect there to be some decent action throughout Saturday and Sunday. The Square off Billingsgate Shoal has been fishing well, with a few slow days mixed in this week.  If I

Cape Cod Canal The Canal has been seeing waves of bass moving through all spring.  The highlight of the entire season may have happened one week ago when the Canal went absolutely crazy. Guys were catching 20-40 pound bass literally from 6AM to 6PM straight.  The entire food chain was in a feeding frenzy and

Epic Tinker Bass Bite | June 10 Report
June 11, 2012

We continued catching bass yesterday as the tide dropped.  We eventually ran out of live macks and resorted to using fresh dead tinkers.  The dead mackerel continued to produce just as well as the livies. If you haven’t already guessed, we were again fishing Barnstable Harbor.  The action inside B-harbor this year has been outstanding.
