As of 5PM on Friday September 18th, I have reached Cahoon Hollow in Wellfleet and am en route to Newcomb Hollow. My legs feel great and I’m ready to catch some fish as soon as the sky gets dark.

In this clip I’m standing in the middle of what I estimate to be 1,000 stripers in the 10-30 pound class, as they swim in 1ft of water. The fall migration is on!I stuck my GoPro Hero 3 camera into the water as the bass encircled me. Fish as large as 30 pounds swam within …

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 ocean and came crashing back …

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 some bigger fish on a …

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 by the receding tide.The fish …

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 same, yet I would walk …

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. The beach which I have …

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 that place is.”One of my …

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 knew something was pulling me …

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 lot was pitch-black and deserted …

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 wind and surf were perfect …
