“Gators.” “Choppers.” “Yellow-eyed devils.” These are all nicknames for one of the most aggressive inshore species to prowl New England’s coastal waters: the bluefish! While striped bass often capture the hearts and attention of near shore anglers in the Northeast, it’s hard to ignore the impressive fighting capabilities of bluefish. Indeed, my favorite type of fishing …
Some anglers don’t like fishing under the brightness of the full moon, but I really love it. Being on the beach when it’s lit up by moonlight is a magical experience. The most recent full moon occurred ten days ago on May 23rd. I had the pleasure of guiding three groups of My Fishing Cape Cod …
A lifetime ago, I would spend two weeks each August on the Jersey Shore. It consisted of beautiful white sand beaches, tropical blue water, and bluefish. Lots of bluefish! Striped bass pass along the Jersey coast in the spring, and again in the fall during their north and south migrations. We are very fortunate that they …

Lately I’ve been talking with many people who fish the Cape Cod Canal. Some are beginners while others have decades of Canal fishing experience. Throughout these conversations I’ve noticed several little things that are yielding big results for beginners and experienced folks alike.

Imagine for a moment that you’ve transported back to the American Industrial Revolution of the early 1800’s. Factories are dumping millions of gallons of raw, untreated sewage into rivers and streams, and dams are being installed that completely prohibit the migration of fish.All the while, Mother Nature seems to supply an endless chain of resources. …
Estuaries and marshes have always been early-season hot spots for several important reasons. First, the water in estuaries can be 10 degrees warmer than the ocean. Second, many estuaries are home to herring runs. The month of May can be a great time to fish Cape Cod’s numerous marshes and estuaries. In fact, it’s where I’ve …
The Massachusetts black sea bass fishing season typically opens during the third week of May. After a long winter, many anglers can’t wait to go black sea bass fishing – including me! Not only are black sea bass some of the best tasting fish we have here on Cape, but they are also very fun to …
I love fishing for tog! They’re a blast to catch when you get into a “tautog blitz” where you get bites on every drop. Plus they’re perhaps my favorite fish to eat. The icing on the cake is catching a few nice striped bass in addition to the tog. That’s exactly what happened during my most …
Introduction from Ryan of My Fishing Cape CodI first met Kevin Adley at a winter expo when he was manning the TowBoatUS Cape Cod/Plymouth booth. Kevin is a captain for TowBoatUS Cape Cod/Plymouth and he’s on the water throughout the season helping anglers and boaters. However, once the conversation shifted to fly fishing, there was no …

Have you had a couple trips this year when you marked bass but caught nothing? Are the people around you “pulling em in”, while you troll around without a bump? Have you spent all day fishing, covering miles of water, without a single bass? If so, join the group! We’ve all had unproductive trips at one …
