Ryan Collins The places I have fished all summer long are completely devoid of striped bass right now. The bass schools were in their usual spots as recent as Thursday morning, but by Thursday night they were gone. I was expecting this to happen, because I believe these schools of striped bass have begun their migration south. To …

Cape & Islands Fishing Report | September 23rd
September 22, 2016

Lori Rizzo I just wanted to update you on my ‘big’ two day tuna trip last weekend.  Due to tropical storm Hermine, the tuna were not making much of a showing, and the trip was a bit of a bust, at least tuna-wise. However it was quite an interesting experience for me, living on a …

Nick Pidgeon Every late August, my family and I take a four night vacation on Cape Cod during late summer.  Instead of spending these evenings relaxing, my father and I hit the beach in search of stripers. For years we would fish Hardings’ beach in Chatham, and catch stripers in the 20-24 inch range.

On Saturday night I headed back to the same general area …

The “Fall Run” Has Begun
September 14, 2016

Ryan Collins 48 hours ago I encountered the most epic albie feeds of my life while fishing off Cape Cod, in the hobie kayak from Sturgis Boatworks. Throughout this memorable day I watched at least one thousand albies as they fed all over the surface. I saw fish as large as 12 pounds go flying …

Ryan Collins After much trial and tribulation I was finally able to catch my first “keeper” striper on the fly rod. It was a terrific experience! This coming week I hope to catch a serious striper on the fly. I know a few spots where quality 25+ pound fish are stacking up close to shore. The rest …

Ryan Collins Before this week’s storm, my friends and I had a blast catching stripers up to 41 inches.  Even more cooler was the fact we were targeting inshore areas from our 12 foot tin boat, powered by a 6hp Johnson. Any striper larger than 40 inches in length is a quality fish, but there is something …

Lauren Blacker I have this funny feeling that when a guy goes fishing, all he really wants is to catch fish, and enjoy utter silence. That is really not a strong point for me. So when Ryan asked if I would join him on the little 12 footer for a few hours of fishing, I was stunned. …

Ryan Collins Yesterday myself and a group of MFCC members headed out at sunrise in search of the first false albacore of the season. By no means was the action “lights out” but based on reports I feel we did pretty well, catching a total of 4 albies and seeing many more on the surface. The …
