I popped out from the path in the woods to a serene vista of an untouched and undeveloped freshwater pond. An entire spectrum of blues and greens filled the area around me and I was very pleased to discover that such a place still exists on Cape Cod. The Cape ...

Cape Cod Fishing Report | Searching For Migrant Stripers
April 29, 2014

The tide was higher, much higher than I have ever seen at this particular spot. I imagined that river herring would be using the tide to enter into the herring run which existed just upstream of my position. Perhaps an early arrival striped bass or two had also decided to ...

Nantucket Sound Fishing Report
April 25, 2014

I was fishing the first part of the incoming tide, which I definitely prefer at this location. The area can be challenging to fish at high tide because water floods through the entire marsh. At high tide I need a really long cast to reach fishy territory, which isn't possible ...

Buzzard’s Bay Fishing Report | Day 2

Lower Cape Cod Fishing Report | Searching For My 1st Schoolie
April 21, 2014

The tide was low and still dropping. A few birds dove here and there in the shallows and I caught a glimpse of a few ospreys high in the sky. After wading around and casting without any bites, I decided to venture down an old dirt road I had passed ...
