The Canal fishing is a bit on the quiet side right now, but that shouldn’t deter you from giving the Canal a good shot.  Things can change by the hour at the Big Ditch, and I am positive there are some decent bass in the land cut – especially at night. Historically July is one

Cape Cod Bay and Cape Cod Canal fishing forecast
June 22, 2012

Cape Cod Bay I would recommend checking out a few areas in the Bay this weekend.  The fishing has been good so I would expect there to be some decent action throughout Saturday and Sunday. The Square off Billingsgate Shoal has been fishing well, with a few slow days mixed in this week.  If I

Extended Weekend Fishing Forecast | June 23-24
June 18, 2012

June is historically one of the best, if not the best month for striped bass fishing at the Cape Cod Canal. This week the early morning tides could very well produce phenomenal top water action.  The top water action this year, as is typically the case, has been best when the tide turns east right

Cape Cod Canal fishing forecast | Week of June 18
June 5, 2012

Well there are some really big bass in the Canal right now. I heard that the fishing yesterday was absolutely incredible.  Just about everyone I have talked to had a banner day yesterday.  Many fish in the 20-40 pound range were caught. I would confidently say that there is probably more than one 50 pound

Unfortunately I was skunked yesterday but I still had fun and feel as if it was definitely a good decision to go down to the Canal in the rain.  You just never know unless you go. There’s been a good amount of fish moving through the land cut this past week so hopefully it will

Spring Time East Tides
May 19, 2012

During the Fall large schools of striped bass use the Canal as conduit to the south. Just like in the spring, bass use the Canal as a shortcut of sorts – a shortcut that just happens to often times be chock full of bait and prey items. Each Fall is different. Some Falls produce incredible

eCourse 8 | The Cows of Late October and Early November
May 14, 2012

During May and June the Canal sees a lot of migrating striped bass. Big pushes of bass occur every week or so, with thousands of stripers moving through the Canal. The surface and day time fishing can be extremely good during this early part of the fishing season.

eCourse 7 | Night Fishing during the Dog Days of Summer
May 11, 2012

The Canal has been great all this week.  Just about every report in New England is talking about it, so I would expect there to be some congestion at the Canal Saturday and Sunday-at least in the morning. The good news is that some of the best action has been happening during the middle of

Top Waters During May at the Ditch
May 5, 2012

This bass put a decent bend in the rod so I knew he was a keeper. He took a little line which was nice, but I really had the drag locked down because the area I was fishing has many jagged rocks and structure that bass in the past have used to break me off.

I’d be lying if I told you that catching a 40+ pound striper from the Canal happens regularly. For me at least, any bass over 40 pounds is something special. And yes I am still waiting on that coveted 50 pounder! Maybe this will be the year it happens for me, we’ll see… Catching a fish that

Part 7 | Targeting 40+ Pound Canal Bass
April 25, 2012

With the advent of social media, the Canal has now become world famous for its bass blitzes. These are the days when thousands of fish invade the land cut, and feed aggressively on prey such as mackerel, menhaden and herring. If you are fortunate to happen upon such a blitz, you probably will never forget it. In
