Fishing reports, videos and more.
I awoke this morning to the blasts of the fog horn. My plan was to fish an estuary down Cape, however the dense fog made me think twice. The conditions were perfect for top water plugging boulder fields, so I called an audible and headed to one of my favorite shore fishing spots on all …
Continued from the post Big Bass in the Fog | May 21 Report I jumped out onto another rock to help gain leverage and improve my angle on the striper. The fish was a good 50 yards away when he decided to turn and head towards open water. I took a second to breathe as …
Fishing Cape Cod’s National Seashore is a wild and rugged experience. Oceanic waves relentlessly crash on more than 40 miles of pristine glacial sand. The great beaches of Outer Cape Cod extend all the way from  Chatham to Provincetown-virtually as far as the eye can see. An angler standing on the great back beach looking …
Continued from the post Fishing Cape Cod’s National Seashore | May 16 Report I started this trip fishing a 9 inch black Slug-Go on a 2 ounce lead head. Slug-Go’s do a good job of imitating sand eels, which are one the most prolific striped bass prey items in Cape Cod waters. Whether fished weightless or on a …
Mid-May is a phenomenal time of the year for Cape Cod surfcasting. The beaches and estuaries of Nantucket Sound are particularly good places to target the first keepers of the season. Based on yesterday’s fishing trip, I think it’s safe to say that slightly larger bass are filtering into the Nantucket Sound area with greater …
Continued from the post Nantucket Sound Report | Biggest Bass of the Year Even after the fight this fish still had a lot of gusto left in him. He continued thrashing around in just a few feet of water, trying like heck to get away from me.
...Continued from the post A Double Header of Tautog and Stripers from Shore That first tautog was actually quite challenging for me to catch. I began the trip by using one of those generic tautog rigs that is made out of heavy wire and all sorts of terminal tackle. Something like the rig in the …
Today’s Cape Cod fishing trip actually began last night, with a trip to the Cape Cod Canal. It’s still early for the Big Ditch, but with the nice weather we’ve been having I just couldn’t help myself. I arrived at the Canal last night around 7pm and fished right until 10:30pm. We’ll talk more about …
Continued from the post Best Fishing Trip of the Season | May 4 The wind began to pick up a bit as I walked towards the opening of the estuary. The calendar said May but to be honest, this morning felt more like October. The air had that crisp and cool sensation to it, which …
This morning was clear, calm and cool – especially at 4AM. My plan was to fish an estuary and hopefully raise a few striped bass to the surface by fishing with top water plugs.
...Continued from the post Top Water Plugging | May 2 Report I could see stripes as the bass clobbered the pencil popper 30 or so yards in front of me. I felt weight on the line so I reared back somewhat gently to set hook. Nothing.
...I woke up this morning at 3:39AM – exactly one minute before my alarm was set to go off. I stepped outside to dead calm conditions. There was not a breath of wind and the stars were shining bright. I could tell it was going to be a very nice morning.
