Fishing reports, videos and more.
On Monday we left at 8am which is later than our usual 5am departure time for tuna trips. The wind had blown hard from the north during the days leading up to this trip, and I wanted to allow the seas some time to lay down.Exiting the bay was quite the challenge. We encountered a …
As we roll into mid-August I find myself starting to think about “funny fish.” It won’t be long now until bonito, false albacore and other more “tropical” species of fish begin trickling into Cape waters.Last season I had a blast chasing false albies with my fishing buddy Jeff C. I learned a lot and I …
I call the tips in this article “advanced” but there’s really nothing advanced about them. The following are just some observations I have made over the years which I feel will help you tube and worm trolling.From dragging buckets to rubber core sinkers, fishing multiple lines and trolling tubes with spinning reels – this post …
This is a guest report from MFCC member Matt Gilveary, who joined My Fishing Cape Cod during the spring of 2015. We are happy to have Matt onboard MFCC! My uncle Matt and I had plans to head out at 11:30pm. Matt often needs some convincing to go fishing, so I read him every fishing …
There’s been some good fish taken at the Cape Cod Canal the past few days. Night fishing is also starting to produce.I think that one of those schools of striped bass which was holding on Stellwagen Bank may have moved into the Canal area. Beware of the big bluefish which are also starting to appear. Expect …
We left Osterville harbor around 7:30am, on a calm day last week, after loading all our rods and gear into the boat for the long 100+ mile trip to the canyons. Along the way we stopped in Madaket Harbor to top off the tanks with fuel. We then proceeded on our journey. It was a pretty …
Ever sit at your desk and dream about the perfect getaway? Even for just a day, wouldn’t it be nice to escape to a far away place where few people venture? I think I’ve found that place. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to sit back and relax for a weekend to do some …

The morning began at 4:30AM just before sun break. The fish the few days prior seemed to be working south and I had a pretty good number on where they might be. However I expected there to be quite a few boats chasing these fish.It wasn’t long before we started seeing fish jumping here and …
Last week I was finally able to get out fishing with my Dad. The weather folks had predicted flat calm seas which would be ideal for a day of striped bass fishing.Right now the bass are holding deep during the day in this summer heat. Our idea was to troll deep and cool water to …
The weather was calling for winds of 10-15 mph with gusts of up to 25. So this would not be a flat calm trip, but do-able in my boat. This was a special trip because I was fishing with my father who had just flown in. Upon arrival at the fishing grounds we quickly found whales …
