Fishing reports, videos and more.
Spring is on the horizon, and the state of Massachusetts will soon be stocking many of Cape Cod’s ponds with rainbow, brook, brown and tiger trout. I’m often asked what ponds on Cape Cod are stocked with trout. This information is available elsewhere on the internet, but I still wanted to publish this list here on …
With the exception of a few subzero days, this winter on Cape Cod has been quite mild. It hasn’t been cold enough to go ice fishing on the Cape, but nevertheless some of our members have been making the trek out west and up north where safe ice can be found much more easily. In this …
It may be the middle of the winter on Cape Cod, but that hasn’t stopped our members from getting out there and catching fish! While there are still some saltwater fishing opportunities available, the vast majority of angling effort from now through April will be freshwater.

The fishing opportunities here aren’t just held to striped bass and bluefin tuna-the Cape is also home to some great freshwater fishing. In fact, there are hundreds of ponds …
The following video was originally published for members of My Fishing Cape Cod during January of 2018.
