Albies have been coming within reach of surfcasters and anglers using small boats or kayaks, so I recently decided to splash the Hobie and try to chase them down.I must say I had one heck of a time keeping up with the fish!

...The last time I splashed the kayak was back in June of this year. Back then I was fortunate to catch some beautiful fish, but most of all I enjoyed the quiet and simplicity of fishing from a kayak.As we move toward the end of the summer, I am looking forward to ditching the big …
As we roll into mid-August I find myself starting to think about “funny fish.” It won’t be long now until bonito, false albacore and other more “tropical” species of fish begin trickling into Cape waters.Last season I had a blast chasing false albies with my fishing buddy Jeff C. I learned a lot and I …
This past weekend I was able to venture out in the kayak in the early AM and again in the evening. During both trips I was lucky to find striped bass in very shallow water. Some of these fish were quite large too. The biggest of the bunch was a 25-30 pounder which was hooked in …

As we move into the New Year, I find myself reminiscing about the 2014 Cape Cod saltwater fishing season. Throughout the 2014 season I can swiftly recall numerous highlights and memorable moments, in which I declared “I will remember this come winter!”Several of those memorable moments include:
...“They are definitely on fish” is what I recall saying to myself, as I looked out over the horizon at a small pack of boats. I was working on only a few hours of sleep from the night before. I didn’t want to burn gas in my 21 footer and go through the process of …
Ryan CollinsSlow-trolling live eels is a super effective way of fooling big striped bass on Cape Cod, especially during late summer and early fall. Slow-trolling is a relatively simple technique to learn, and in this video tutorial I will try to explain all the details of this deadly kayak tactic.For this trip, I “mother shipped” the …
