The Cape Cod fall run is unlike anything else in saltwater fly fishing. Bait is everywhere. Birds are working. Fish are stacked and feeding hard before pushing south for the winter.

...Quick note: This post is part of a paid partnership with Fish Snax Lures. All thoughts and opinions are my own — the weird jaw growth is 100% the fish’s doing. For most of my life, August has meant one thing: night fishing. Dark beaches, headlamps, that particular kind of tired that comes from chasing stripers on …

Ever since catching my very first striper at six years old, I fell in love with everything the sport has to offer—the excitement of the bite, the peacefulness of being on the water, the incredible marine life, and the unforgettable places fishing …
Somewhere off the coast of the Carolinas, in the remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur, Peter Wiersema — who spends his summers in Falmouth — was running his boat solo at 30 knots.Alone. In a tropical storm. Burning through fuel at a rate that would make most of us wince, on day two of a 3.5-day, …

This past Monday July 27th at 5:00 a.m. Dead low tide. Not a breath of wind. The air felt warm and soft. I stood at the top of the beach for a second before walking down, just taking it in. The water temp had to be pushing 70 degrees, maybe warmer.I’d only brought one rod …
