Fishing reports, videos and more.
Andrew Burke Once I finished my classes for the day at UMass, I immediately packed up my car and headed for the Cape. After reading all the positive “fall run” reports, I was chomping at the bit to do some surfcasting. I was able to get in contact with Ryan Collins, and we made a spur …
Ryan Collins I have just recently discovered the effectiveness of the needlefish when surfcasting Cape Cod at night for striped bass. Of course I knew all along how effective needlefish can be. For example my friend Danya Mahota even blogged about needlefish last year here on MFCC. Yet this season I have been casting needlefish with more …
Ryan Collins On Friday October 7th myself and MFCC intern Andrew Burke encountered fantastic fly fishing for schoolies and small keeper stripers. The bass were not large but they were present in astounding numbers. Hundreds of stripers were patrolling up and down the shoreline. Fortunately for me the big schools were cruising a mere 20-30 feet …
Ryan Franklin As much as I love the summer, I always get excited for Fall for several reasons. For example, you get to enjoy fun summer activities without the droves of tourist. Second, football starts up again; go Patriots! And saving the best for last, the fall striper run! Over the past few years I have …

...Ryan Collins When I was growing up, my father and I fished “blind”without sonar and GPS. We used very basic equipment and fished from a 12 foot boat powered by a 6 horsepower engine. We found fish by paying attention to the wind, tide and past experiences. Instinct, determination and sheer luck also played a major …
Ryan Collins Massive schools of adult pogies (also called menhaden and bunker) have appeared off Cape Cod in record numbers.Large striped bass, bluefish, seals and even giant bluefin tuna have been taking advantage of this epic nearshore feeding opportunity. Most of the enormous schools of adult pogies have been swimming close to the shoreline in …
I stepped outside around 8am and was greeted by a pleasantly cool morning. Instead of fishing, I felt like taking a beach day to enjoy the nice weather. I quickly loaded up my car in an effort to beat the crowds that fill the backside beaches of the Outer Cape during peak summer months.However, I had …
Cullen Lundholm Recently I have been jumping around to a lot of different places based off land and water temperatures. We’ve been getting a lot of really warm water actually everywhere, even up inside Cape Cod Bay, so I’ve been trying to play into that. Over the past week I have been fishing off Ptown, all …
Andrew Burke It started much like many other late nights of surfcasting, with a pot of coffee around 7:15pm to prepare myself for a long evening. I was looking forward to this night of fishing with Ryan, as well as MFCC members Steven Rogers and Ryan Franklin. All of us met up in the parking lot …
Ryan Collins Most of the beaches on Lower Cape Cod are pristine and undeveloped. Fishing this area feels more “wild” than fishing other spots on Cape, and that is a major reason why I so much enjoy fishing this part of the world. When I set foot on the beach around 5pm yesterday evening, I …
Ryan Collins The Memorial Day Weekend rush was over. My drive down Route 6 was fast and easy. By 4pm I had arrived at ABC Campground in North Truro. The friendly staff checked me in, and within an hour I was ready to go fishing. With miles of coastline and perfect weather, I felt like a kid on …
