This post and the many comments it generated originally appeared here inside the My Fishing Cape C0d forum during May of 2022. Today we’ve decided to feature it on the blog. In some instances the original content has been updated and the original grammar edited. Today’s post is following a recent trip I made to the beach …
I have fished for striped bass from shore using bucktail jigs for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I would often cast bucktail jigs from the beaches of Cape Cod Bay before and after school. Bucktail jigging is a technique that’s been used on Cape Cod (and all around the world) for …

The spring saltwater fishing season is really starting to heat up, and members of MFCC have been reeling in some awesome fish. In this post, we’ll take a look at some very impressive surf caught striped bass from this past week. All of these catches were originally posted in the 2024 Surfcasters’ Thread inside our members’ …
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 …

Fishing gear accumulates, whether it’s the impulse buys from the latest tackle sale or the remnants of past seasons’ adventures, …
It’s still super early in the season to be fishing for stripers. The first migratory schoolie striped bass of the year probably won’t show up for another three weeks. Nevertheless, yesterday afternoon I felt that familiar “itch” to head out and give striper fishing a try regardless of the fact that it’s honestly too early to …
*This report and accompanying comments were first shared inside our private members’ forum. On a cool December 27th night my headlight cuts a winding path through the foggy dark for what may very well be my last hopeful trip of the year. Gearing up quickly and quietly, I grab my rod and surf belt, and check …
A couple of weeks ago I shared this blog post about some of the amazing catches My Fishing Cape Cod members shared this season inside our private forum. Since publishing that post, anglers inside our forum have chimed-in with more of their own personal bests caught from the surf this 2023 season. So let’s take another look …
This past season I went fishing twice with MFCC member Calvin Toran-Sandlin. During both trips we fished gnarly rock strewn areas. I’ll write up a full post about the experience as soon as I can, but in the meantime I wanted to share a little video footage from our first trip together. In this video, you’ll get …
