The rock piles of West Falmouth have been producing well for me all spring.  Problem is that accessing the best boulder fields is not always easy. Parking on the Cape, and in certain towns like Falmouth and Barnstable, is not always conducive to fishing.  Often times you have to park at a public beach, risk

What a morning! Just a few years ago getting out of bed at 4AM on a Saturday was absolutely unheard of.  Today I’m actually enjoying not burning the candle at both ends, and actually feeling energetic on weekend mornings.  Having a nice morning on the beach beats going out and staying up late in my

If only I could save bluefish like the one above for a live bait tuna trip! Speaking of tuna, I heard that an 83 inch giant was taken yesterday east of Chatham.  It must have been a little snotty out there with the Northeast wind, but some hard working soul stuck it out and was

Craigville Beach is a good place to look for bluefish. If you check the area out on Google Earth you will notice that deep water is located relatively close to shore.  Anytime you find deep water within casting range from the beach, odds are that there will be either bass or bluefish in that area

This morning felt more like mid-August than late May.  Believe me I am not complaining one bit.  I will take flat calm conditions, sunny skies and 70 degrees at sunrise any day. I decided to get out and do some exploring today.  I’m really enjoying finding new areas throughout the Cape Cod region that I

This morning I fished the Knobb, which is located just to the north of Uncatena Island in the town of Falmouth. I’ve wanted to fish the Knobb since I was a kid but just did not get around to it until this morning.  The entire area is very different from most shore bound fishing spots

So far the 2012 striped bass fishing season is off to a great start here on Cape Cod.  Over the past few weeks many big bass have been caught which is a great sign of good things to come. Even more exciting (for me at least!) is the fact that many My Fishing Cape Cod

Today was absolutely awesome I think I have logged in 45 minutes of snooze time over the past 48 hours.  Surprisingly I have never felt so energetic.  I think it may have something to do with fishing in a completely new area.  Right now it is 2:50AM Sunday morning and I am still good to

Well I am in a bit of a dry spell. This is, however nothing new at all.  If you get into this whole saltwater fishing scene you will quickly realize that some times you smoke ’em and other times you can’t catch a thing. Although I have caught some nice bass in some beautiful places

I was hoping to get out of bed before sunrise today, but needless to say that did not happen.  We stayed up way too late last night and there was really no chance of waking up by 5AM. But that is A-OK with me.  My good friend Brain McCowan is getting married in a few

After a day of not fishing I was starting to go through withdrawals so I made a concerted effort to get out for an hour tonight.  I didn’t have much time to plan the trip, but I still liked my odds of at least catching a fish or two. I really enjoy exploring new areas

Barnstable’s Schoolie Striper Hot Spot | May 24 Report
May 24, 2012

I had always heard stories growing up about the great schoolie striper fishing at Scudder Lane.  It only took me about 20 years but I finally made it down there tonight. This is a really cool place with easy access and plenty of fishing options.  There is even a tide dependent boat ramp that would
