Ryan Collins Over the past four days I’ve fished with 12 members of My Fishing Cape Cod. We’ve fly fished, surf cast, and live-lined mackerel to stripers of up to 40lbs. These trips are part of the limited number of custom guided trips I am offering this season to My Fishing Cape Cod members. These trips …

Garet Suomala Hello MFCC! It’s your favorite fisherman again, and yes I am talking about myself – Garet Suomala. For those of you who don’t know me, here is a link to a little bit about myself. Today I will be talking about a fishing trip Ryan and I took along a Cape Cod Bay beach. I …
Dex Chadsey Even though I have been fishing on the Cape since I was 8 years old, My Fishing Cape Cod has changed my fishing experience dramatically in many different ways.For example, I can remember being on Cape without a clue of where to fish, at least anywhere beyond my childhood fishing spots in Chatham. …
In the wee hours of Tuesday morning June 14th, while fishing a beach on Cape Cod, I happened upon a school of “slob” striped bass willing to crush big Danny Plugs on the surface in the pitch black.If you have never caught a giant striped bass using a Danny Plug at night, then you will …
Dex ChadseyMFCC member since 2013 Westport, located on the western side of Buzzards Bay, is a hidden gem for fishing. Westport may not technically be on Cape Cod, but the area is close enough (and fishy enough!) to warrant investigation. Westport supports a wide variety of fishing environments. One moment you think you’re at Cuttyhunk, the next …
Dex ChadseyMFCC member since 2013 I couldn’t be happier with my two dry tops. High quality gear is really important to me, as it lets me go out in any situation. No matter the weather, I know I will be comfortable and safe. I wear a Simms dry top during the summer, whenever I feel the need …
Last night I spent the hours of 7pm-10pm bouncing Al Gag’s Whip-It-Fish along the bottom of an inlet.
In this particular area, striped bass often “pave” the bottom, holding in shallow depressions waiting for a meal to be swept by.
A 1.5 ounce Whip-It-Fish (or other jig style lure) is the perfect weight for inlets like this one, in which the bottom is only around 10 feet deep.
Before I dive into this report, I would like to mention that not all marinas allow fishing from their docks.
I recommend asking your local harbormaster if fishing is allowed, before you step foot onto the docks, especially at night.
However, if you can find a lighted marina where it is OK to fish (and if that marina is chock full of bait) you can do quite well during the month of October.
Last week during the howling NE winds, I had the opportunity to fish a lighted dock where stripers of 25+ pounds sometimes congregate.
...Ryan Collins I have just recently discovered the effectiveness of the needlefish when surfcasting Cape Cod at night for striped bass. Of course I knew all along how effective needlefish can be. For example my friend Danya Mahota even blogged about needlefish last year here on MFCC. Yet this season I have been casting needlefish with more …
