Chatham’s great whites steal much of the thunder when it comes to sharks on Cape Cod. Yet great whites are just the tip of the iceberg with regards to the sharks looming just offshore Cape Cod’s beaches. An angler does not have to head far offshore to find big sharks that weigh hundreds of pounds. …
The sky over Wellfleet was on fire. Streaks of orange shot up from the land and pierced the late-summer night sky. A deep, dark ball of orange was growing on the horizon. As it grew the low lying clouds above it turned orange as well, until that entire section of sky was lit up like …
Continued from the post An Epic Night in the Surf | Cape Cod Shore Fishing Report The bass was not happy when I set the hook. He shot into the air and watched his white belly twist and turn in the moonlight, before he fell back down into the water. The serene and perfectly quiet …
I think the fall run of striped bass has just started here on Cape Cod. If you were on the water yesterday, I bet you noticed that slight chill in the air around 6AM. I haven’t had cool air like that in my lungs since May. The 48 degree oxygen made me feel alive, and …
Earlier in the week my Mom, Dad and I caught some nice striped bass fishing live eels from my boat. That’s great and all, but if you are like me, nothing beats catching a big striper from the beach. To catch a nice striper from shore was my goal late last night, as I walked out …
Continued from the post Live Eel Shore Fishing Report | August 22 My heart was officially pounding now. I had not expected to find good size bass on this trip. Of course I hoped I would, as always. Yet the odds are against you when fishing from the beach. I was incredibly excited. I was fishing …
Earlier in the week I published a post about how well live eels work on striped bass here on Cape Cod during late summer and early fall. Whether you are fishing from a boat or from shore, from Provincetown to Woods Hole, eels work great on big striped bass. I was thinking about this post …
There was a “nip” in the air the other morning when I woke up, which to me is a clue that summer is waning. I love late summer on Cape Cod, more so than any other time of the year. The hot and muggy air is dissipating, and the bass bite on truly large stripers …
“Years ago I would get spooled fishing that beach” said the man behind the counter at the bait shop. “We would catch them, but every once in a while we would hook one that we could not stop.” Just hearing those words got me excited. I had spent the past 48 hours prepping tackle and …
Continued from the post Cape Cod Shark Fishing Report | August 13-14 My heart beat had significantly increased since I leaped from my chair. Could it really be this easy, this simple? I had only been on the beach for 20 minutes, and had just put baits in the water. Yet I was in the …
This week I am hoping to catch a shark from a Cape Cod beach, and the wind is looking promising for Wednesday. NOAA is predicting northwest winds of up to 20 knots during the day on Wednesday, dying down to 5-10 knots after sunset. The northwest breeze ought to make fishing Cape Cod’s southside much …
