Things change awfully quick off Cape Cod. On Saturday I headed out towards Provincetown to anchor and chum for a shot at a Cape Cod giant bluefin tuna.  The seas could not have been any calmer.  For miles around I could not even find so much as a ripple.  It was hands down the most

By November most folks have hung up their saltwater rods and reels for the season.  I can’t blame them as most of the striped bass in the area, especially the larger bass, have moved on to warmer waters to the south.

Early November Surfcasting on Cape Cod

October is a pretty wild month here on Cape Cod (and across New England for that matter).  Earlier this week while fishing Cape Cod I was freezing my buns off while yesterday I was worried about getting sun burnt. Last year much of New England experienced a snow storm in late October and this year

October 19, 2012

Live eels work great from shore all summer long.  However I believe striped bass eat eels with even more abandon during the month of October.  The bass are on their way south, and they will happily slurp down an eel that happens to swim their way.

It sure felt like mid October tonight as I set off down a long vacant beach.  There was a chilly stiff breeze blowing in from the northwest, but the abundant sunshine helped to thwart the wind chill.  The air was crisp and it smelt fishy. I had high hopes for tonight’s trip after receiving some
