Ryan Collins The surfcasting I have encountered the past several days has been red hot! Big striped bass in the 20-30 pound range have been swimming incredibly close to shore, even during daylight hours, which is unusual. 48 hours ago I stumbled upon a school of quality bass feeding among weeds and rocks. On my fifth

Cape Cod Weekend Fishing Update
July 28, 2016

Ryan Collins I looked down into the crystal clear water and could see stripers cruising around boulders and through bubble weed. I was really excited, because I have not seen fish in this particular spot since I was a teenager. Most of the bass were small but some were 15+ pounds. Most exciting of all was

July 28th Cape Cod Fishing Report
July 25, 2016

Ryan Collins The wind was blowing cool air across the ocean and into my nostrils. A bright full moon shone from above. It was a perfect Cape Cod summer night, and I felt there was a good chance of some big fish showing up in the surf. The moon was shining bright over my right shoulder,

How I Rescued This Striped Bass
July 24, 2016

I stepped outside around 8am and was greeted by a pleasantly cool morning. Instead of fishing, I felt like taking a beach day to enjoy the nice weather. I quickly loaded up my car in an effort to beat the crowds that fill the backside beaches of the Outer Cape during peak summer months.However, I had

Andrew Burke It started much like many other late nights of surfcasting, with a pot of coffee around 7:15pm to prepare myself for a long evening. I was looking forward to this night of fishing with Ryan, as well as MFCC members Steven Rogers and Ryan Franklin. All of us met up in the parking lot

50 Bass From The Beach
May 18, 2016

Ryan Collins I thought my coffee tasted a little strange, so I asked Jack Bosch if his cup of Joe tasted a little salty. He replied that yes, his coffee was indeed quite salty. That is when it dawned on us that we had been adding salt, not sugar, to our coffees. That was just the

Boulder Bass | Part #2
May 16, 2016

Ryan Collins Our group of ambitious My Fishing Cape Codders had taken hundreds of casts, and covered miles of boulder strewn coastline. I had two schoolies under my belt and Dex Chadsey had caught one. Yet despite our best efforts, the fishing had been very slow. The morning for me had begun bright and early at 4AM.

Boulder Bass | Part #1
April 18, 2016

Ryan Collins On Friday April 15th, I received a firsthand report of migratory stripers being caught on Cape Cod. My source is as reliable and honest a fisherman as they come, plus he had caught the bass himself. I instantly felt inspired to fish. However, fishing was (at least for the moment) out of the question. Scouring the coastline

Micro Schoolies Have Reached Cape Cod
April 2, 2016

Ryan Collins This adventure began well before dark, at the leisurely hour of 3pm.  I had initially planned on using the kayak, but high winds convinced me to fish from shore. It was now after midnight, and after hours of casting, I was yet to catch a fish. During my last trip I had been extremely lucky

Monster Holdover Striper
March 26, 2016

Ryan Collins Migratory striped bass are moving up the East Coast of the United States, and it’s an exciting time of the year to be a fisherman.  I would estimate that the first migratory stripers will arrive in Cape Cod waters within 3 weeks. However, you don’t have to wait for the big schools of

March 11, 2016

Ryan Collins I was still half asleep when Buddy (a dog we are watching for our friends while they are away) dragged his wet and slobbery tongue across my cheek. Time to wake up! Temperatures were predicted to reach 70 degrees in Boston, with slightly cooler temperatures on the Cape. The day had infinite potential. Yet
