After a day of not fishing I was starting to go through withdrawals so I made a concerted effort to get out for an hour tonight.  I didn’t have much time to plan the trip, but I still liked my odds of at least catching a fish or two. I really enjoy exploring new areas

Could the weather have been any better this winter? I feel as if the winter never really happened here on Cape Cod, or really anywhere in New England for that matter.  As I write this I am enjoying a nice “spring-like” breeze that is blowing through many of the open windows in the house.  It’s

Cape Cod’s Early Season Striped Bass Fishing Hot Spots
January 20, 2012

On a nice day, fishing the flats of Barnstable Harbor is more like fishing the Florida Keys than fishing Cape Cod. Stripers cruise in foot deep water, much like Florida’s famous bonefish.
