Fishing reports, videos and more.
The largest striped bass I have ever caught from shore weighed 45 pounds. Catching that fish was an incredible experience, but needless to say, I am pretty eager to break the 50 pound mark. Recently I was able to hook and land a 30 pound bass from the beach, which tells ...
Every once in a while, if you stick at this fishing thing long enough, you end up hitting a hot streak. This past week has been red hot for me from the beach, with numerous fish in the 20 - 30 pound class. Yet I know things could change in ...
Continued from the post 30 Pounders in the Suds | Cape Cod Fishing Report Once the eel plopped into the water I let him sit there for a moment before slowly retrieving him back towards shore. I figure that the end of a long cast is often the best place ...
Continued from the post Cape Cod Surfcasting Report | Bass on the Rocks The bass' initial run was impressive and there was no doubt in my mind that the fish was all of 25 pounds. 15 hours of patience had paid off. Now all I needed to do was keep the ...
According to geologists, Cape Cod's beaches were formed some 15,000 to 20,000 years ago. Who knows how many incredible blitzes have occurred along the Cape's shoreline since then. I thought about this the other night as I walked past rocks and boulders deposited by receding glaciers. How many huge stripers have ...
I often catch myself imagining what fishing on Cape Cod was like “way back when.” I like to picture Cape Cod without the bridges and marinas, when it was still a wild place. Can you imagine what the fishing must have been like 1,000 years ago? It may be difficult ...

Continued from the post Close-to-Shore Shark Fishing Report When you are fishing a live bluefish and a rod goes down, whatever is on your line has some size. The moments following such a bite are critical, and the decisions an angler makes (or fails to make) can be the difference between ...
Chatham's great whites steal much of the thunder when it comes to sharks on Cape Cod. Yet great whites are just the tip of the iceberg with regards to the sharks looming just offshore Cape Cod's beaches. An angler does not have to head far offshore to find big sharks ...
The sky over Wellfleet was on fire. Streaks of orange shot up from the land and pierced the late-summer night sky. A deep, dark ball of orange was growing on the horizon. As it grew the low lying clouds above it turned orange as well, until that entire section of ...
Continued from the post An Epic Night in the Surf | Cape Cod Shore Fishing Report The bass was not happy when I set the hook. He shot into the air and watched his white belly twist and turn in the moonlight, before he fell back down into the water. ...
I think the fall run of striped bass has just started here on Cape Cod. If you were on the water yesterday, I bet you noticed that slight chill in the air around 6AM. I haven't had cool air like that in my lungs since May. The 48 degree oxygen ...
