Fishing reports, videos and more.
I am happy to report that this morning I caught my first striped bass of the 2015 season. Woo hoo! The following report is shorter than usual because I want to get back to fishing ASAP. I will be publishing more in-depth reports (with video) over the next several days so definitely stay tuned. Until then, here is …
Last night I fished one of Buzzard’s Bay’s most noteworthy spring fishing spots. In the real old days US presidents like Grover Cleveland would fish here for stripers, trout and plenty of other species.People have actually been fishing this area since well before the Pilgrims landed. This particular estuary (and others nearby) used to harbor …
My favorite thing to do right now is hike several miles to remote shore fishing locations and catch fish far away from roads and parking lots. However I understand that not everyone is able, or interested in walking that far to catch a fish.This season my friend Garet Suomala will be assisting me in highlighting …
Catching tautog from shore on Cape Cod during the spring is a blast! Plus it is super simple fishing. No expensive gear or boat required.In this post I’ll share with you a quick video overview of the concept, and also provide MFCC members with some locations I feel will produce tautog from shore this spring.
...Last night around 8PM I found myself meandering down a beach path. I hadn’t surfcasted the beach since my trip to outer Cape Cod – it felt good to smell the salt air again. The wind yesterday evening was calm and the skies overcast. It was going to be a dark night on the beach, which I …
(Continued from the report Sight Fishing For Stripers At Night | Cape Cod Fishing Report October 30 ) Seeing that bass, and the phosphorescence which it caused to light up and glow, got my blood pumping. At this time of the season I never know when my last good fish from shore will bite, and here …
Before I dive into this post, I want to let you know that I am thinking of hosting an in-person fishing class before the weather turns too cold. Topics covered would include how to work certain plugs like pencil poppers, how to fish a live eel and virtually anything you may personally be interested …
I watched as a set of breakers rolled in from the Atlantic Ocean towards one of the outer sandbars which ran parallel to the coast, about 50 yards offshore. The third wave in the set, which was the largest, curled at its top and fell forward, pounding hundreds, if not thousands of gallons of water …
(Continued from the report Surfcasting Cape Cod’s Backside Beaches | Day 2) In this video report I’ll share with you the scenery and experience of fishing one of Cape Cod’s most famous backside beaches. A few things you’ll see include: Stunning vistas of Outer Cape Cod’s impressive landscapes The tackle and lures I used for fishing …
I was feeling restless and I think Lauren could tell. Sometimes I feel an odd, uneasy feeling which permeates through my torso. Through past experience I’ve learned the feeling diminishes once I see the ocean and begin walking on the beach. Lauren understands, so without too much discussion I embarked on a 36 hour, overnight …
(Continued from the report Outer Cape Cod Fishing Report | October 16) My idea was to intercept one of the large migrating schools of stripers that swim south along the great beach of Outer Cape Cod during October. Huge bass to more than 70 pounds have been caught along this stretch of shoreline during the Octobers …
During the day time when fishing among boulders I’ve found that pencil poppers and large swimming plugs work pretty well. I wanted to cast far out and reach some of the boulders and rocks that were holding farther offshore. So instead of donning a wet suit and swimming out to those boulders, I tied on …
