You know something special is about to happen when adult mackerel start beaching themselves. After releasing that 36 pounder I got right back to casting. Each cast was producing at least a good solid whack or two.  Jeff and I continued to provoke some really impressive surface strikes for the ...

May 7, 2012

Last night's fishing was a lot of fun to say the least. It's hard to beat fishing under a full moon with flat calm conditions.  On top of that I had a great fishing partner! We were fishing the Boardwalk in Sandwich, also known as Old Harbor.  This is a ...

Targeting Stripers from Shore in Sandwich
May 5, 2012

A lot of folks, myself included, have lost tons of gear to the Canal's bottom. In some areas the bottom of the Canal is a jumbled mess of rocks, marine vegetation and who knows what else. I've seen pictures of entire tug boats sinking in the Canal, so one can ...

Night Shift at the Cape Cod Canal | May 4 Report
May 5, 2012

This bass put a decent bend in the rod so I knew he was a keeper. He took a little line which was nice, but I really had the drag locked down because the area I was fishing has many jagged rocks and structure that bass in the past have ...

May 4, 2012

Based on what I've been hearing through the grapevine I would expect the Canal to catch on fire over the next week to 10 days - knock on wood of course.  Believe me I've been wrong about 100 times before, but from what I'm hearing we have some seriously nice ...

Cape Cod Fishing Report May 2, 2012 This was one of the most aggressive bass I have ever caught! One of the best parts about fishing Cape Cod during May is the solitude. Last night I had an entire beach all to myself.  Just me, a few nice fish, seals ...

Our first striper of 2012 was caught using a small white curly tail grub. I was all sorts of pumped up to get out striped bass fishing yesterday for the first time in 6 months.  The strong wind, rain, fog and nippy temperatures were not going to deter me.  It's ...
