Fishing reports, videos and more.
Fishing on Cape Cod during the month of May is my favorite time of the season for targeting striped bass in close to shore. For whatever reason, bass seem to hug the shoreline more so during May than any other month – at least in the Cape Cod fishing spots I tend to gravitate to. …
With the new My Fishing Cape Cod site successfully launched, it’s now time to get back to blogging about Cape Cod fishing spots, fishing techniques and all the other “fun stuff.” Thank goodness nothing was lost or broken during the transfer to the new site – what a relief!  Of course if you find …
Click here for the latest Buzzards Bay fishing report That first striped bass of the year is always a special one. Without sounding too melodramatic, I really do enjoy those first few trips of the season. Catching a few nice fish is a great way to shake off the winter. Around Cape Cod one of …
Over the past 8 Cape Cod surf fishing seasons I would estimate that I have purchased roughly 11,520 sea worms from Jeff, Bruce and Sheila over at Canal Bait and Tackle. Along with the worms I would add in another 1,440 Gamakatsu circle hooks, 1,000 yards of leader material and couple rods and reels here …
The spring Cape Cod saltwater fishing season may be a whopping 6 months away, but it’s never too early in my opinion to talk about the best Cape Cod fishing spots to try out come spring-time 2013.
...Late summer means that it’s time to soak up as much sun and have as many beach days as possible. Plus with the kids heading back to school soon, many of Cape Cod’s beaches will have a bit more breathing room. This is perfect for combining a beach day with the family or significant other, …
By November most folks have hung up their saltwater rods and reels for the season. I can’t blame them as most of the striped bass in the area, especially the larger bass, have moved on to warmer waters to the south. However for the diehards there are still bass around. Migrating fish will continue to …
Live eels work great from shore all summer long. However I believe striped bass eat eels with even more abandon during the month of October. The bass are on their way south, and they will happily slurp down an eel that happens to swim their way.
...The ultimate challenge for me this October is to get into a school of 20-50 pound bass from the beach. Who knows if this will happen this season, but I really believe that I (and you too) have a good chance. Schools of hundreds of big bass do travel along Cape Cod’s beaches during October …
When it comes to topwater plugging I have always had my best success at estuaries during the outgoing tide at the mouth of the estuary. Creek mouths and inlets (basically two names for the same thing) offer many solid opportunities for folks casting pencil poppers, polaris style poppers, creek chubs and “walk the dog” type …
Click here for the latest Cape Cod Bay fishing report Experiencing low tide at Chapin beach is like being in the Florida Keys. Expanses of sandbars stretch in every direction for miles. You could hold a PGA Tour golf event on this beach at low tide-that’s how much space there is. These tidal flats …
Cape Cod’s many creeks and estuaries fish very well during May and again during September and October. Of course you can find sporadic action throughout the season in estuaries, however I find the action to be most consistent during the spring and the fall. There is an assortment of bait for striped bass and bluefish …
