Catching tautog from shore on Cape Cod is not something I have ever tried before. But after seeing tautog all over the place this past week while surf fishing for stripers, I decided I had to give it a try. I am no tautog expert but I do know they absolutely love green crabs. Tautog …
Continued from the post A Double Header of Tautog and Stripers from Shore That first tautog was actually quite challenging for me to catch. I began the trip by using one of those generic tautog rigs that is made out of heavy wire and all sorts of terminal tackle. Something like the rig in the …
With each passing day more bass, and larger bass, are filtering into Cape Cod’s bays, sounds, harbors, estuaries and of course the Canal. Right now is an awesome time to be a striped bass fishermen. It’s an even better time to fish Cape Cod from the surf. We might as well enjoy these near-shore opportunities …
Continued from the post Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report | May 10 Instantly the bass took notice, turned and hammered the pencil popper. I was on instantly with a good bass. My rod bent hard towards the water’s surface as line began to peel from the reel. Fish on! And it was a good size …
I would first like to say thank you for your patience yesterday while the MFCC website was down. Quite a few people emailed me letting me know that something was wrong, which was really great. We should be in the clear now, but of course if you find something that doesn’t seem to be where …

Yesterday was flat calm and sunny, which meant it was time to splash the Miss Loretta and head out onto Cape Cod Bay. As I prepped the boat yesterday I could not help but think about this past Thanksgiving, which was the last time I was out on the water. I find it amazing how …
Continued from the post Cape Cod Bay Fishing Report | May 7 I turned the bow and pointed it eastward, to where we hoped we would find some bass. We had a fair amount of sunlight left, but I couldn’t help but feel slightly pressed for time. We had plenty of bait – what we …
Today’s Cape Cod fishing trip actually began last night, with a trip to the Cape Cod Canal. It’s still early for the Big Ditch, but with the nice weather we’ve been having I just couldn’t help myself. I arrived at the Canal last night around 7pm and fished right until 10:30pm. We’ll talk more about …
Continued from the post Best Fishing Trip of the Season | May 4 The wind began to pick up a bit as I walked towards the opening of the estuary. The calendar said May but to be honest, this morning felt more like October. The air had that crisp and cool sensation to it, which …
