Cold, wet, windy and rainy best described the conditions as I stepped foot onto the beach. I knew the odds of catching my first striper of the season on such a cold and raw day were slim, but I could not help but at least give it a try. I ...

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 ...

Extended Nantucket Sound Fishing Report
April 24, 2014

The mid-morning sun felt incredible. Spring is most certainly here on Cape Cod! Cormorants were diving in front of me and a sea gull was cracking open a mussel behind me. There was plenty of life around and the atmosphere even felt fishy. I had once again decided to fish ...

Buzzard’s Bay Fishing Report | Day 2
April 23, 2014

Fishing Buzzard's Bay is a great idea right now, because striped bass often show up in Buzzard's Bay before they show up in other areas of the Cape. In recent years my first striper of the season has been caught in Buzzard's Bay. In this trip I fished numerous locales ...

April 23, 2014

Despite being so far into the upper reaches of this estuary, there was still a fantastic chance that I would find stripers. Hungry spring stripers have no problem following River Herring way back into estuaries, virtually into freshwater. Conditions were picture perfect and there was bait around. I had a ...

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 ...

Extended Lower Cape Cod Fishing Report | Searching For My 1st Schoolie
April 18, 2014

Earlier this week I was able to squeeze in another early-spring Cape Cod fishing adventure. Stripers could arrive any day now on Cape Cod and I will admit that I am pretty excited. During this trip I hoped I would stumble across one of those very rare keeper-size holdover striped ...

I Just Found The Place To Catch A 25 Pounder In 2 Feet Of Water
April 18, 2014

This trip actually began as a freshwater trip. I got all the way to Brewster before realizing I had forgotten my waders... This sort of thing happens to me somewhat often when I wake up anytime before 5AM. Instead of throwing myself a pity party, I decided to switch things ...
