My latest Cape Cod striped bass fishing trip began at the leisurely hour of 4:45AM-just in time to catch the sunrise. My idea was to check out an area I haven’t fished since last season, in hopes of finding bass busting on top. I was excited to be on the water, and so was my …
Continued from the post Big Fish on Top Right off the bat we knew this was a better fish. It put one hell of a bend in Andrew’s setup, and even peeled a few yards of line from the reel. After a minute or so Andrew decided it was time to prepare to land this …
Cape Cod boasts miles upon miles of expansive sandbars, flats and tidal pools. In some areas crystal clear water and fine sand extend as far as the eye can see. On a sunny day it is easy to confuse the turquoise shallows of Cape Cod with the tropical lagoons of Australia’s Whitsunday Islands, or the …
Continued from the post Sandbar Stripers | May 28 Report The bass really did come out nowhere. There was no swirl, footprint or any other indication of bass in the pool. Either way the fish had found my bait and managed to attach himself to the business end of my line. After a quick battle I …
“A man may stand there and put all America behind him” is how Henry David Thoreau described Cape Cod nearly two hundred years ago. Sometimes it easy to lose sight of Cape Cod’s simplicity, especially during the hustle and bustle of Memorial Day Weekend. Yet there are many fishing spots on Cape Cod where solitude …
Continued from the post An Off-Road Adventure | Memorial Day Weekend Report This was no monster, but I didn’t really care that much. It just feels good to catch a fish after logging in that much driving and walking. After a very quick fight I had the small schoolie in the wash by my boots.
...Torrential rain and heavy wind is a good way of describing conditions this morning at the Cape Cod Canal. I almost felt foolish as I stood there on the rocks, getting pelted in the face by wind whipped H20. Nevertheless I felt like my chances at connecting with a decent bass were pretty good. I …
Continued from the post Big Bass in the Big Ditch | May 24 Canal Report Whenever I can, I like to chase down a decent size bass at the Canal, as opposed to horsing him in. This is of course much easier to do when you have the Canal to yourself, like I did yesterday. It’s …
With each passing day, fresh schools of striped bass are arriving and feeding on Cape Cod, like voracious tourists piling into an Old Country Buffet. Reliable reports of larger surf and boat bass weighing more than 20 pounds, have begun spreading like wildfire throughout the region. If you plan on fishing Cape Cod this Memorial …
I awoke this morning to the blasts of the fog horn. My plan was to fish an estuary down Cape, however the dense fog made me think twice. The conditions were perfect for top water plugging boulder fields, so I called an audible and headed to one of my favorite shore fishing spots on all …
Continued from the post Big Bass in the Fog | May 21 Report I jumped out onto another rock to help gain leverage and improve my angle on the striper. The fish was a good 50 yards away when he decided to turn and head towards open water. I took a second to breathe as …
Last night (technically this morning) my high school buddy Andrew and I set off to fish the Cape Cod Canal at night. Night fishing the Cape Cod Canal is one of my favorite types of fishing because you often have the place to yourself, plus there is a good chance of encountering big striped bass. …
