Fishing reports, videos and more.
It had been a little while since my Dad tagged along on a surfcasting excursion. Generally he is more of a boat guy but he does thoroughly enjoy walking the beach and trails through the dunes. So as I settled in and began casting, my Dad chose to find a comfy place in the sand …
The weeks just keep on trucking by and the fish continue to cooperate on good ole’ Cape Cod. Right now you can catch striped bass, scup, bluefish, tautog, a variety of other bottom fish, and before you know it, bluefin tuna. In this post I want to share with you some highlights from this past …
Catching stripers is always fun, but catching stripers in “skinny” water is more fun. I would be hard pressed to find a more thrilling scenario, than seeing a nice bass in just a couple feet of water, and then casting to that bass, and watching that bass engulf the bait right before my eyes. I …
It had been a good trip, and I had caught fish, but I could not help but feel I had missed out on a few key opportunities. The 35 inch bass that swam by me in just 2 feet of crystal clear water, was one example. I had to leave because at high tide the …
Other stripers continued to pop and swirl on the surface as I reeled this first fish in towards the tidal flat on which I stood. It felt cool to be standing here, on a piece of sandbar, nearly one mile from dry land, with a fish on the line. The sun was setting and the …
This past month I’ve spent my nights hanging with my girlfriend Lauren or working on the computer, reading an enlightening book or having a staring competition with our cat Izzy. It’s been riveting. It had been 6 months since I fished the beach at night, and 6 months is far too long a time to …
The bass soon realized that was something was not right. I imagine this realization is what sparked a powerful run down current, which resulted in a small amount of line being pulled from my reel. My flimsy fishing rod was bent into the shape of a parabola. I pondered the word parabola, as I looked …
There is a lot of life infiltrating the Cape’s waters right now. This past week I encountered everything from scup to squid, striped bass to horseshoe crabs, tautog and sea herring and many other species. I saw some of the first keeper striped bass of the season and heard a few rumors of fish at …
It was dark and I couldn’t see a darn thing, but I knew that there were striped bass somewhere in front of me. Every other minute or so, I would hear a sudden SLAP as another aggressive striper sucked down some poor little baitfish off the surface. The scene was picture-perfect. It was one of …
It’s been several months since I have seen a bass take a lure like that, directly in front of my eyes. It sure is nice to have the fish back. This was the best bass I had hooked so far in the 2014 season. He actually came close to pulling a little line! In this …
Spring time is the right time for catching Atlantic mackerel. Mackerel are not just fun to catch, but they are good to eat, and they make great live baits for cow striped bass. During this trip my idea was to check out some of the better known mackerel fishing haunts, to see if the macks …
The wind was howling as my friend Jason Mazzola and I traveled through the Cape Cod Canal on his boat the “Sue-Sea-Q” south towards Buzzard’s Bay. This was going to be a wet and sloppy fishing trip. The rain began to pour as we approached the Railroad Bridge. This was my first time on the …
