I figured he would have a …
Ryan CollinsDuring the 2018 fishing season our members contributed more than 9,500 posts to our private Cape Cod fishing forum. Many of these posts contain really valuable information for fishing techniques and locations. I myself have learned a lot by reading them!Periodically throughout this coming fall, winter and spring, I will highlight some of what I …
Ryan CollinsThis weekend myself and members of My Fishing Cape Cod have found good numbers of striped bass from shore and from boat. Early this morning I met up with my good friend and MFCC member Todd Baranowski at the un-Godly hour of 2am for a few hours of eel slinging.We hooked into plenty of nice …
Ryan Collins The Cape Cod Salties, a sport fishing organization that dates back to 1962, has a plan to enlarge the Yarmouth Tire Reef, also called the “Tire Pile.” The Salties are going to enlarge the reef by adding demolition debris from the bridge that once carried the railroad over the northern part of Bass River, …
Ryan Collins My first experience striped bass fishing the town of Dennis occurred when I was a young teenager, maybe 13 or 14 years old. My dad had purchased a 12ft tin boat powered by a 6hp Johnson engine, and he decided it would be fun to pile his family into the boat for an epic …

Ryan Franklin On a humid evening this past Auguest, MFCC members Ryan Turcotte and Hayden Gallagher pulled into my driveway to prepare for a night of shark fishing. Ryan T. (who has been running this year’s My Fishing Cape Cod Derby) and Hayden had never fished for brown sharks before. They had both driven straight from work for a …

I have 2 goals for these early spring scouting missions: Discover holdover striped bass in areas I have not …
David StetsonMember since 2014 On May 30th 2016, I reunited with my younger, non-fisherman brother Doug, at the Cooke’s Seafood parking lot in Hyannis. This was Day One of my annual trip from Oregon to visit my ninety year old mother, my brother, and to surf fish – not necessarily in that order. Our destination …
If you follow the Canal Today thread in our forum, then you’ll see folks are still catching schoolies, with the occasional keeper mixed in.
There have also been scattered reports of larger bass up to 30 pounds being seen and caught in the canal area over the past week.
Without a doubt, large stripers have become much more scarce and difficult to find all throughout Cape Cod and the Islands. However you still have a chance of hooking into a fish with some shoulders.
Last night I spent the hours of 7pm-10pm bouncing Al Gag’s Whip-It-Fish along the bottom of an inlet.
In this particular area, striped bass often “pave” the bottom, holding in shallow depressions waiting for a meal to be swept by.
A 1.5 ounce Whip-It-Fish (or other jig style lure) is the perfect weight for inlets like this one, in which the bottom is only around 10 feet deep.
