Wow! I cannot believe it has been a full week since I embarked on this journey. What an experience it was walking and casting the 27 miles from Coast Guard Beach in Eastham, to Race Point in Provincetown.A lot happened each day of the journey, and in this post I am going to do my …
After hiking and fishing for 27 miles, I finally reached my end goal of Race Point Lighthouse this morning around 10am. This was certainly one of the most memorable journeys of my lifetime!I wanted to post these below videos for those of you who do not participate in Facebook. These videos were shared in real …
As of 5PM on Friday September 18th, I have reached Cahoon Hollow in Wellfleet and am en route to Newcomb Hollow. My legs feel great and I’m ready to catch some fish as soon as the sky gets dark.
...Last week I met up with MFCC contributor Danya Mahota for a night of surfcasting on the outer beaches of Cape Cod. It was good to reconnect with Danya and also to do a little recon in preparation of the 23 mile fishing hike I plan to do later this month.Finding fish along these beaches …
At the end of the 2014 fishing season, I read the book Cape Cod by Henry David Thoreau. The text recaps Thoreau’s visit to the Cape during the mid 1800’s, including his walk along the dunes from Nauset Inlet to Provincetown.After reading the book I felt inspired to do the same, yet I would walk …

This morning I recorded a podcast with Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters and learned about an amazing topwater bite that he’s been experiencing the past few days off Cape Cod. There are no guarantees in fishing, but right now Cullen and his crews have been consistently catching 25+ pound striped bass, mostly on topwater plugs. …
Surfcasting the beach at night is a spiritual experience for many anglers here on Cape Cod. Standing alone beneath a dune with a moon overhead and stripers at your feet is pretty special. Before this north wind and rain rolled into the region, I was able to fish the beach at night with several My Fishing …

The wind was howling and the sun sinking towards the horizon, as Lauren and I set off through the dunes, and onto Cape Cod’s great backside beach. Lauren wanted to take some photos with her new camera, and I wanted to catch a striper along Cape Cod most vast and pristine stretch of shoreline.
...This week has lots of potential! Many kettle ponds on Cape are finally ice-free, which for me means it’s time to give freshwater a shot. Trout will be my main target this week, but I’m not giving up on holdover striped bass either. Keep an eye on those water temps too, because once it hits …
