Fishing reports, videos and more.
Yesterday morning I fished the wide open beach for the first time in a long time. The wind was howling, the waves were huge, the rain was pounding and the fish were around.I even watched an enormous humpback whale do a full breach! The whale soared up out of the ...
The sharks are back in the surf! The last few weeks have been tough going for me on the beach. Five trips without a fish. I guess that's why they call it fishing and not catching. However the last few days have paid off big time and we finally caught ...
Over the weekend I trekked back into one of the Cape's muddiest estuaries, and discovered hundreds of stripers gorging on peanut bunker and baby herring, in just inches of water.The "tidal pool blitz" began just after midnight, when the bait and stripers became completely cut off from the open ocean ...
Last week I met up with MFCC contributor Danya Mahota for a night of surfcasting on the outer beaches of Cape Cod. It was good to reconnect with Danya and also to do a little recon in preparation of the 23 mile fishing hike I plan to do later this ...
At the end of the 2014 fishing season, I read the book Cape Cod by Henry David Thoreau. The text recaps Thoreau's visit to the Cape during the mid 1800's, including his walk along the dunes from Nauset Inlet to Provincetown.After reading the book I felt inspired to do the ...
Ryan Franklin I pulled into the beach parking lot a little after 7:30 pm, which is earlier than I typically start surfcasting for sharks. I had heard from a friend that there had recently been a good bite at dusk, so there I was ready to go nice and early. ...
A few weeks ago Ryan Turcotte published a report about a fishing trip he took with fellow MFCC members Ryan Collins and Kris Magnotti. The title: “60 Bass In The Middle Of The Night, From Shore” quickly got my attention. As I read the report I thought, “I know where ...
The night before this particular outing, I made a conscious decision to not go fishing. I had already been out twice the past couple days, plus there were storms in the forecast. Tides were high before sunrise and dropping-along with the barometric pressure.However when I awoke naturally at 4 AM, I ...
This is a guest report from Ryan Turcotte who's been a MFCC member since 2013, and is the current points leader in our forum. I invited Ryan T. and new member Kris Magnotti to fish the beach with me last Friday night/Saturday morning. This report recaps our experience. The parking ...
My phone vibrated with another text from Danya about the great fishing he's been encountering. I finally said enough was enough, and decided to drop everything I was doing and meet up with Danya for a night on the beach.We began our hike together around 10:30PM in blustery conditions. The ...
This report highlights one of those special nights when everything lines up perfectly. It all began when I grabbed my waders, a few Snickers bars and a super big jug of coffee.Fully supplied I headed out onto a beach which has been very productive for me so far this season. In this report ...
The bass was cruising over a sandbar in just 3 feet of water. I could barely see the fish's profile against the backdrop of the light brown sand, but it was a fish nonetheless. This was a good sign and I was happy that at least one fish was in ...
