I plan on chasing stripers right through the winter, but with November right around the corner, largemouth bass are now biting hard.
One of the simplest and most effective ways to catch a largemouth in a pond right now is to use what is known as a Rooster Tail.
Rooster Tails are great lures for kids to use, because the technique is so simple, and because they catch almost everything that swims in a freshwater pond on Cape Cod and elsewhere.
Michael Mathias I arrived at this particular Salter Run at about 11am. The weather was sunny, and the temp on the dash was exactly 50 degrees. The wind was from the SE at about 10 knots. My plan was to hike upstream as far as I could. The hike would take me about a quarter of a …
I set out on this fresh water fishing escapade on Friday, February 12th. It was a chilly morning. My phone weather app was broadcastings a high of 11 degrees for the day. I dressed in triple layers; top and bottom. If you fish in this cold weather I recommend investing in a set of Under …
Greetings MFCC! This is fellow member Stephen Madden, letting you know that the trout stocking trucks are out and about this October-one of the reasons why this is my favorite time of the year.
...This is a guest post from MFCC member Matt Linsky. Matt has been freshwater fishing his entire life and I am excited to have him contributing freshwater posts & reports! It was late spring and I just set out on my favorite pond. This is “my honey hole”- a super private spot where I do …
This week has lots of potential! Many kettle ponds on Cape are finally ice-free, which for me means it’s time to give freshwater a shot. Trout will be my main target this week, but I’m not giving up on holdover striped bass either. Keep an eye on those water temps too, because once it hits …
I popped out from the path in the woods to a serene vista of an untouched and undeveloped freshwater pond. An entire spectrum of blues and greens filled the area around me and I was very pleased to discover that such a place still exists on Cape Cod. The Cape is famous for its saltwater …
There was not a soul around as I made my way into the woods. It was only minutes before I saw another hawk, and then an osprey flying high in the sky. I feel that having these birds around is a good sign because they too are hoping to catch fish.
...“Eh boy” is what I recall silently saying to myself as I peered down at the sheer vertical drop in front of me. The gently sloping gradient I had followed through the woods ended abruptly at this very spot, but I still had another 50 yards to cover before I would reach the edge of …
I was only fishing for several minutes before I heard a fish break the surface. There was a slight breeze and small chop sweeping over the pond, so I wasn’t able to visually locate the fish. Yet based on the audio it produced, I knew it was just out of casting range. Regardless it was …
So far this spring I have been having a lot of fun trout fishing on Cape Cod. During my most recent Cape Cod trout fishing trip I was able to catch a beautiful rainbow trout, and explore one of the Cape’s most scenic freshwater kettle ponds. That was a great trip, and since then I …
The school of trout continued to move closer to me, and was now within casting range. The hawk above my head calmly watched the action ensue. There were trout right there on the surface, a mere 10 yards in front of me, and I figured I had only seconds until the hawk made her move. …
