Fishing reports, videos and more.
There have been some super calm conditions on Cape Cod Bay recently. I’ve personally been bouncing back and forth from fishing the Bay and various other locations. In this report I’ll recap what I’ve been seeing and experiencing while cruising the waters of Cape Cod Bay.
...Finding striped bass off Cape Cod during late July usually involves fishing deep cool waters. For the most part keeper size striped bass abandon the rips and shallow areas (at least during the day) and stick to the 50 ft and greater depths. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, but for the most part …
A lot of folks were somewhat pessimistic about this past spring at the Cape Cod Canal. Compared to the previous few springs, this past May and June were not quite as productive. The easy “blitz” fishing of years past just didn’t materialize as many had hoped and expected. The good news is that for those …
Over the past several days I’ve noticed that live bait has worked better for me, and the guys I’ve been fishing with, than lures and other artificial baits. Whether you’re fishing for bass or tuna, live bait will probably be your best bet at catching a fish or two-especially the big ones. However fishing live …
I usually live-line mackerel during May and June, however this year everything seems to be “running a bit behind.” Right now we are approaching mid-July, and live mackerel are still plentiful in many inshore waters throughout the Cape. Bass in these areas are super susceptible to a properly presented live mack. Live-lining mackerel has been …

The wind was howling earlier this week, but now the weather’s settled and conditions are absolutely picture perfect for boating and fishing. I feel that summer is settling into the region and that striped bass in particular are entering into their “somewhat reliable” summertime routines. In this report I’ll share with you what I personally …
The flag at the marina was whipping good. My father and I could tell that this was going to be a very bumpy, brisk and salty trip. Commercial striped bass fishing is still an important source of income for me, so I really wanted to get on the water yesterday despite the 30 knot wind. …
From jigging to eeling, fishing cut bait to plugging, there is certainly no shortage of different ways to catch a striped bass at the Cape Cod Canal. So many ways actually, that it can be rather intimidating if you’re new to fishing the Big Ditch. Whether in fishing or life, I feel it is best to …
You wouldn’t be able to tell from how my Dad is dressed in the above photo, but this week was quite warm on the water! It really did feel like summer out there and the fish seem to be behaving like it’s summer as well. In this MFCC members’ fishing report I will recap what …
This past Monday I spent nearly 24 hours on my boat. I searched far and wide, finally found fish, and then watched as the guy next to me caught them. I unfortunately could not catch a darn thing. I then proceeded to slice my finger on the anchor and embed a hook in my left …
