Alex Ridgway Getting out on my newly purchased Hobie Kayak is still exciting in and of itself. Yet after doing well last week with small keeper bass, I was more excited than ever when I launched the kayak yesterday morning.The air temperature was a balmy 37 degrees. I broke out my gloves as I admired the …
So far this December, in my annual search for the elusive holdover striped bass, my best success has been realized via kayak in the Sandwich & Barnstable area. In particular, trolling from the Hobie kayak has been hands down the most effective strategy for locating and catching holdover stripers. This is the technique I used to locate …
Ryan Collins The bass were biting this weekend! Christmas may be right around the corner, but stripers can still be caught on Cape Cod, if you know where to look. I would imagine that 99% of the Cape’s striper population has migrated south. Yet for whatever reason, very small and scattered schools of bass remain …
This week I encountered thousands of schoolies while fly fishing from my kayak off Cape Cod.
We are certainly blessed to be seeing all these small stripers so late in the season! Perhaps they will stick around for a few more days – dare I say weeks!
The following kayak/fly fishing trip occurred earlier this week on the morning of Wednesday November 2nd. These fish were still here as of today.
...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.
Ryan Collins 48 hours ago I encountered the most epic albie feeds of my life while fishing off Cape Cod, in the hobie kayak from Sturgis Boatworks. Throughout this memorable day I watched at least one thousand albies as they fed all over the surface. I saw fish as large as 12 pounds go flying …
Ryan Collins Wow! It sure was a wild weekend on Cape Cod. The beach chairs were out in force and the party was on. I attended an epic wedding and an unreal 30th birthday party, while being surrounded by endless July 4th celebrations. I met people from My Fishing Cape Cod and had a great time with …
Ryan Collins My plan was to fish during the evening and again at sunrise the next day. However that is not what ended up happening, especially with flat calm conditions and a bright, nearly full moon. ​My idea was to use the hobie kayak from Sturgis Boatworks to stalk striped bass among one of Cape Cod’s most …
Ryan Collins Join me in this video report as I kayak fish the bays and boulder fields of Cape Cod in search of the first sea-lice covered stripers and tautog. This trip began before sunrise just a few days ago on the 28th of April. My idea was to fish a southside bay for stripers before …
Ryan Collins This week I’ve been kayak fishing from the Hobie and encountering some wild scenes. From stripers and acres of adult pogies, to seals and even an orphan squirrel! You just never know what you might encounter when kayak fishing on Cape Cod.​ It’s great to see all these micro-size stripers, but what I’m most …
Steve O’Malley I was woken just before dawn on Sunday by the sound of a thousand blackbirds on my lawn, in the trees and on the telephone wires. It seemed as though every one of them was calling, announcing that spring was here and encouraging me to do spring things like spruce up the yard, …
2015 was my second year ever fishing from a kayak. I learned a lot, caught some fish and explored unique areas only accessible via kayak or shallow draft boat. I still have no electronics whatsoever installed on the kayak. I am tempted to outfit the boat with the latest gadgets because I know my catch rates …
