Cape Cod Fishing Report I’m not usually a huge fan of catching bluefish, but when they are whacking top water plugs cast from shore I am 100% in. Fortunately here on Cape Cod, we see a nice run of bluefish along the beachfront each spring.  May and June, in my experience, has always been prime

Bluefish in the Suds | June 12 Report
June 12, 2012

South Cape is a perennial bluefish hot spot. I heard a couple days ago that there was a bluefish blitz right along the beach at around 4pm.  With the wind the way it was yesterday I had to go check it out. I grabbed my buddy Garet and we headed down to South Cape.  The

If only I could save bluefish like the one above for a live bait tuna trip! Speaking of tuna, I heard that an 83 inch giant was taken yesterday east of Chatham.  It must have been a little snotty out there with the Northeast wind, but some hard working soul stuck it out and was

Beach Blues | June 1 Report
June 2, 2012

Craigville Beach is a good place to look for bluefish. If you check the area out on Google Earth you will notice that deep water is located relatively close to shore.  Anytime you find deep water within casting range from the beach, odds are that there will be either bass or bluefish in that area

Today was absolutely awesome I think I have logged in 45 minutes of snooze time over the past 48 hours.  Surprisingly I have never felt so energetic.  I think it may have something to do with fishing in a completely new area.  Right now it is 2:50AM Sunday morning and I am still good to

Well I am in a bit of a dry spell. This is, however nothing new at all.  If you get into this whole saltwater fishing scene you will quickly realize that some times you smoke ’em and other times you can’t catch a thing. Although I have caught some nice bass in some beautiful places

I was hoping to get out of bed before sunrise today, but needless to say that did not happen.  We stayed up way too late last night and there was really no chance of waking up by 5AM. But that is A-OK with me.  My good friend Brain McCowan is getting married in a few

Cape Cod Fishing Report May 2, 2012 One of the best parts about fishing Cape Cod during May is the solitude. Last night I had an entire beach all to myself.  Just me, a few nice fish, seals and the birds.  I walked up and down the beach for around 2 miles without seeing anyone

Last night was a lot of fun.  It really is awesome having an entire beach to yourself.  Catching a fish or two is really just a bonus. South Cape beach in Mashpee is a great spot to check out during the month of May.  I always venture down to South Cape at least once each

Spring Stripers at South Cape
March 12, 2012

Could the weather have been any better this winter? I feel as if the winter never really happened here on Cape Cod, or really anywhere in New England for that matter.  As I write this I am enjoying a nice “spring-like” breeze that is blowing through many of the open windows in the house.  It’s

Cape Cod’s Early Season Striped Bass Fishing Hot Spots
September 13, 2011

Aside from inclement weather, catching, transporting and storing fresh live bait was the most challenging giant tuna hurdle for us last season.  I’m happy to say that so far this fall, the news on the live bait front is much more encouraging. This past weekend Mazzola and I brought the Miss Loretta down Cape to

June 23, 2011

This article was published during the spring of 2011. This particular afternoon, now a full decade into the past, was unusually warm by Cape Cod standards.  I recall driving into the South Cape Beach parking lot and noticing how the sun reflected nicely off the white caps that were heaving in at the beach from
