It’s fall on Cape Cod, which means striped bass are en route to warmer waters. Striped bass from as far as Maine are now moving south along the New England coastline towards our local bays, beaches, harbors and estuaries. Some of these bass will take a left and migrate around the legendary backside beaches of …
The fall run of striped bass is underway on Cape Cod. I just got word of big stripers up to 32 pounds in skinny water, in areas that have not seen big bass since June. Right now is a phenomenal time of the year to be a fishing nut. This week I plan on fishing …
As is often the case, the honey hole which has been producing so well for me recently, completely dried up this week. I am confident that big bass will return to that particular spot, yet until that happens it is time to explore and find new surfcasting hot spots. One area where I plan on …
Continued from the post Lower Cape Cod Fishing Report | Searching for a Fifty On one horizon the last of the sun was disappearing behind the dunes. On the other, a nearly full moon was rising above the Atlantic. There was not a cloud above us, which meant that we were in for a very bright …
The largest striped bass I have ever caught from shore weighed 45 pounds. Catching that fish was an incredible experience, but needless to say, I am pretty eager to break the 50 pound mark. Recently I was able to hook and land a 30 pound bass from the beach, which tells me that big fish are …
Every once in a while, if you stick at this fishing thing long enough, you end up hitting a hot streak. This past week has been red hot for me from the beach, with numerous fish in the 20 – 30 pound class. Yet I know things could change in a heartbeat, so you can …

Continued from the post Cape Cod Surfcasting Report | Bass on the Rocks The bass’ initial run was impressive and there was no doubt in my mind that the fish was all of 25 pounds. 15 hours of patience had paid off. Now all I needed to do was keep the bass away from obstructions, tire …
According to geologists, Cape Cod’s beaches were formed some 15,000 to 20,000 years ago. Who knows how many incredible blitzes have occurred along the Cape’s shoreline since then. I thought about this the other night as I walked past rocks and boulders deposited by receding glaciers. How many huge stripers have fed among these rocks over …
I often catch myself imagining what fishing on Cape Cod was like “way back when.” I like to picture Cape Cod without the bridges and marinas, when it was still a wild place. Can you imagine what the fishing must have been like 1,000 years ago? It may be difficult for us “modern day” anglers …
Beneath the waves of the ocean’s surface lies a quiet and mysterious world. This lonely place is disturbed only occasionally by the sound of a passing boat engine, a singing humpback whale or some other solitary marine creature. Us fishermen really have no idea what may be swimming beneath the hulls of our boats. My …
Continued from the post Close-to-Shore Shark Fishing Report When you are fishing a live bluefish and a rod goes down, whatever is on your line has some size.
