Fishing reports, videos and more.
I have been fortunate to encounter some impressive topwater feeds over the past several days. Certain MFCC members and fans have also encountered some outrageous blitzes. It’s always a nice surprise when you look out at the horizon and see birds and whitewater. In this report I will share with you the topwater feeds I …
Summer is finally here on the Cape! Â Flat calm, hot, humid days are right around the corner. One of the most reliable ways of catching big striped bass from a boat during the dog days of summer, is via trolling leadcore line. Leadcore lines makes it easy to present a lure to big stripers, holding …
I spent a fair amount of time this week hanging around the Cape Cod Canal, on foot and on my boat. I am happy to report that I witnessed a fair amount of life. In this brief Canal fishing report, I want to share with you what I observed, in hopes that it may help …
Yesterday I took some friends from Minnesota out on my boat. We did some fishing and explored numerous sand bars, tidal pools and other areas that essentially feel like home to me. The surprise, excitement and curiosity that this experience sparked in these people from Minnesota really struck me, and I realized that not many …
My Dad and I awoke at 2AM with an eagerness that only comes on flat calm, no wind mornings. We are a bit more groggy in the morning when it’s blowing, especially out of the north or east. This would be my first fishing trip on my boat all season long. This spring I focused …
I covered a lot of water during this fishing trip. Many places where I normally find life  were barren, which sparked my effort to investigate some new stretches of turf. My Dad and I cruised to places where I have not been since I was just a little kid, looking for signs of life the …
With the heat of summer knocking at our door, good day-time bass fishing will most likely happen less frequently. So far this season on Cape Cod, past reliable hot spots like the Cape Cod Canal have been less productive than in past seasons (especially during the day). But there is hope for those who prefer …
(Continued from the post A Rare Day-Time Topwater Bass Bite) The bass bit very close to shore. Amazingly close to shore, much like that bite I got when fishing this boulder field field earlier in the season. It was exciting and caught me a bit off-guard. Because the fish hit so close, and had so much …
This past week I was fortunate to connect with a couple nice schools of striped bass while fishing from shore. You can learn more about those experiences by checking out these two Cape Cod fishing reports from this week: Cape Cod Fishing Report June 17 | A Perfect Night On The Beach (Part 1) A …
Pitch black was an understatement. I could not see a darn thing as I meandered through the woods towards the shoreline. Luckily for me I would soon enjoy an orange moon rise. Sure enough as I crested a sand dune a very bright moon appeared over the horizon. For a moment I thought there was …
For once I felt as if I had a solid hook set on this fish. So far this season I feel like I have been losing all of the big fish I have hooked. The striper made a dash for open water, pulling dozens of yards of line from my reel. I could feel her …
The temps were warm and the air felt like summer. That, plus the fact that my waders have a hole in them, led to me wearing gym shorts and going barefoot. Fortunately in this section of Cape Cod, soft sand is the norm, and I wouldn’t have to worry about stepping on sharp rocks and …
