Fishing reports, videos and more.
The squawking of the terns and birds was like music to my ears. Since I was a little kid I have associated these sounds with good fishing, and I always feel a jolt of excitement when I hear terns crying. Jay motored me within casting distance of the diving birds. I had tied on a …
I feel most at ease when walking through a beach environment as the sun is rising. Right now my favorite time to be outside is from 4:30AM – 6:30AM. This early in the day I am usually all by myself, with the exception of the animals. The solitude, coupled with the stillness of the morning, …
Continued from the post Vineyard Sound Fishing Report I arrived at my first fishing spot an hour after beginning my hike. The tide was moving and the water was swirling into a bowl shaped sand formation, directly in front of me. The bottom here drops off precipitously, which I feel is a main reason why …
The past 7 days have been a lot of fun for yours truly and I am already chomping at the bit for this weekend! The fish are here and the weather’s been cooperating, so I can’t ask for much more than that. In this post I will recap what I have found this past week …
After releasing the fifth schoolie bass of this the trip, I decided that was enough for me. When I was younger I would have continued fishing and catching to my heart’s delight. I vividly remember one trip 15 years ago when I caught 85 schoolie stripers in just 3-4 hours of fishing. That’s what you …
I was fishing in an area of current, which can be a smart move because striped bass are attracted to areas of current. In other words if you find moving water, there is a good chance of finding a few bass. In this particular situation, the bass were feeding smack dab in the middle of …
The water was so calm that I could see my own reflection. Even more impressive, was how perfectly the sunrise refracted off the still water. Nantucket Sound was virtually one big mirror. Yet off to my right something was making a commotion in the water. At first I saw just one swirl, then a second, …
Because the water was so still, when my lure landed, ripples extended and reverberated throughout the water. I hoped the splash caused by the lure did not spook the stripers, which were now just feet away. I started my retrieve just as another small bass splashed on the surface, and slapped his tail against the …
I feel it’s safe to say that I have surpassed the 1,000 cast mark so far this season, and despite a couple nasty wind knots, I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of those 1,000 casts. I will be the first to admit, however, that casting is much more fun when I have a …
I would like to say that the fish took off, pulling drag and screaming line from my reel. Or that he headed for the bottom, pumping and head shaking, as he pushed through the water column with his powerful tail. That kind of situation is not far off. Actually, we ought to start seeing big …
I just had one heck of a weekend! Yesterday I had a wonderful time at the My Fishing Cape Cod Breakfast (thanks everyone for coming!) and the day before I saw striped bass swirling on the surface for the first time all season. One of the side benefits of yesterday’s MFCC breakfast was that I …
I thought long and hard about where to fish today. I consulted all available resources, hoping to glean some tidbit of information that would lead me to that first big batch of migratory stripers. After spending 15 minutes surveying a particular estuary using Google Earth, I discovered a hidden access point that would drop me …
