Surfcasting Greater Boston for Striped Bass

October 31, 2016

This October I’ve been surfcasting different locations, including spots around the Greater Boston area, in search of late-season striped bass.

I am having fun exploring new places, and catching a few stripers here and there.
During this trip (which took place on October 25th) I was surprised to encounter hundreds of cormorants, diving and feeding.

With so many cormorants in the area, I figured there must be bait around. Can you imagine the amount of baitfish required to feed a giant flock of cormorants?

Schoolie Stripers Still Abundant On Cape Cod

October 25, 2016

If you follow the Canal Today thread in our forum, then you’ll see folks are still catching schoolies, with the occasional keeper mixed in.

There have also been scattered reports of larger bass up to 30 pounds being seen and caught in the canal area over the past week.
Without a doubt, large stripers have become much more scarce and difficult to find all throughout Cape Cod and the Islands. However you still have a chance of hooking into a fish with some shoulders.

Surfcasting & Kayaking Plymouth Bay

October 23, 2016

The striper fishing for me the past 72 hours has been challenging.

There have been some good pushes of fish through parts of the Cape (we’ll talk about that later) but for me the fishing has been very hit and miss.
On Thursday night I had this decent trip jigging on Cape with 8 bass up to 30 inches. On Friday and Saturday I decided to head off Cape and explore Plymouth Bay via kayak.

Exploring & Surfcasting Buzzard’s Bay

October 19, 2016

This October I’ve been chasing stripers as they migrate south through the weed beds, ledges and rock piles of Buzzard’s Bay.

Surfcasting here is very different than surfcasting in other areas throughout Cape Cod.
Aside from the swift currents and huge rocks, private property and no trespassing signs are posted all over creation. Buzzard’s Bay is a challenging place to fish.

September 29th Surfcasting Report

September 29, 2016

Ryan Collins At 7:45am this morning I met up with MFCC member Jeff Petter for a day of surfcasting. Conditions were pretty gnarly to say the least.
