A common request I received throughout the 2014 season was to provide information about easy-to-access fishing spots. Many people here on MFCC wanted to fish spots where parking was free, simple and easy. In Provincetown two particular places come to mind. I feel comfortable sharing these productive spots here online because there is plenty of parking,

“Big Bass Territory” | Part #2 of the MFCC Fishing Trip
October 15, 2014

During the day time when fishing among boulders I’ve found that pencil poppers and large swimming plugs work pretty well. I wanted to cast far out and reach some of the boulders and rocks that were holding farther offshore. So instead of donning a wet suit and swimming out to those boulders, I tied on

Way back during early spring of 2014, while fishing for schoolie stripers, I dropped my GoPro Hero 2 camera into a puddle. The circuit board instantly fried and the camera died on the spot. DOH! I’ve broken or lost a total of 4 GoPro cameras since starting MFCC, and I knew it would be at
