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 …
Ryan CollinsLast weekend I jigged an inlet on Cape Cod which has treated me very well over the years, especially during October. During this tip I fishing at around 8:00am. I was fortunate to catch bass up to 37 inches using 1.5 ounce Al Gag’s Whip-It Fish. Oftentimes the largest bass in an inlet will hug tight …
Ryan Collins The much talked about “fall run” is certainly underway here on Cape Cod. Yesterday I was fortunate to encounter stellar surfcasting despite very windy, and very rough conditions. I had an entire crew of great people with me yesterday including my friend Dave Steeves from the Goose Hummock Shop in Orleans, and my drone-flying friend …
Ryan Collins It has been nearly 1 year since I fished the beaches of Lower Cape Cod with MFCC members Jim Murphy and Chas Salmon. Last year’s trip with Jim and Chas turned out to be quite memorable. We caught plenty of fish from shore and enjoyed some gorgeous weather. It has also been nearly 1 …
Ryan Collins Yesterday I had a terrific opportunity to play golf with two longtime members of My Fishing Cape Cod. Jeff Richard and Warren Fairbanks, if you are reading this please know I had a great time, despite my inability to break 100! Once golf was finished I immediately set to preparing my gear, food, tackle …
