Continued from Cape Cod Fish Report | April 22 The area I was fishing could not have been any deeper than 5 feet. Usually I would bypass such a shallow spot, however every bass I have caught so far this season has been holding in shallow bends in creeks. Aside from these bass not having

Continued from the post The Search for a Keeper I began casting the same small Storm Shad I have been using all this week. I was targeting a keeper, but really anything over 20 inches would be a score. I find it hard to tinker with what has been working, so I decided to stick

Continued from the post Cape Cod Fishing Report for Upper & Mid Cape Cod The first area I decided to head to was Nantucket Sound. The water in Nantucket Sound warms up quicker than the water of Cape Cod Bay. That plus the fact that migratory bass moving up from the south will enter Nantucket Sound

Continued from the post First Cape Cod Stripers of the Season The bass put a nice bend in the rod, considering I was using super light tackle. It sure was a nice feeling, considering the last bass I hooked was at the Canal during November of 2012. After a quick but fun fight I had the

As I write this post I can’t help but glance out my airplane window and gaze down upon the Earth below. The clouds roll on in every direction, stretching far off into the horizon like a white blanket covering the land. From up here it’s hard to tell that there are things in this world
