Viewed on a chart Billingsgate Shoal is the most noticeable and extensive are of structure inside Cape Cod Bay. The Shoal extends from a few miles north of Dennis’ Sesuit Harbor to northernmost point of Wellfleet.

It seems that each season striped bass select a different Cape Cod location to infiltrate in amazing numbers.

Live eels produced a lot of big bass throughout the 2011 season. The night bite was spectacular during August and September. We also had a few awesome nights in October before the fish moved south. This first video was taken during early September. The bass moved up tight into 8-15 feet of water under a …
