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 …

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.
Ryan CollinsLast weekend I jigged an inlet on Cape Cod which has treated me very well over the years, especially during October. During this tip I fishing at around 8:00am. I was fortunate to catch bass up to 37 inches using 1.5 ounce Al Gag’s Whip-It Fish. Oftentimes the largest bass in an inlet will hug tight …
Ryan Collins I woke up this past Friday morning to the sound of crashing waves, howling wind and pelting rain. In the dim morning light I watched powerful waves smash onto the shoreline, and felt the sting of the wind on my face. All week I had enjoyed a fantastic “fall run” surfcasting bite. During those …
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 …
