I can hear the wind tearing across Cape Cod Bay as I write this Cape Cod fishing report. It feels like a winter night here, and it sounds like one too. 46 degree waves are smashing the shoreline and the rain is pelting down – today would not be a good day for the boat.

Continued from the post The Search for a Keeper I began casting the same small Storm Shad I have been using all this week. I was targeting a keeper, but really anything over 20 inches would be a score. I find it hard to tinker with what has been working, so I decided to stick

Continued from the post Cape Cod Fishing Report for Upper & Mid Cape Cod The first area I decided to head to was Nantucket Sound. The water in Nantucket Sound warms up quicker than the water of Cape Cod Bay. That plus the fact that migratory bass moving up from the south will enter Nantucket Sound
