September is when Cape Cod’s estuaries start to heat up again.  Now through the end of October is a great time to fish an estuary for striped bass and bluefish, so I’d highly recommend getting to one asap! Last night I waited for night to fall before heading down to one of my favorite estuaries. …

There is an assortment of bait for striped bass and bluefish …

Locating Big Fish at Night in the Back Waters of Estuaries
August 31, 2012

Late summer is my favorite time for fishing from a boat.  The weather is usually pretty nice, there are more striped bass and tuna around, and they are typically on the aggressive side.

August 28, 2012

Sometimes it’s great to simplify things and head out on foot with a small spinning rod in hand. I think the key to finding good action on small fish at night at the Canal lies in targeting the areas directly underneath the bright white lights on the Cape side  of the Ditch.  That’s basically what …

Extended Striped Bass Fishing Report

Just about any beach on Cape Cod has the potential to cough up at least a fish or two.  However you can increase your odds of catching a fish by bringing the family and or significant other to areas that have some sort of structure or fish-attracting feature. This could be a boulder field, a …

Combining Beach Days with Fishing
August 18, 2012

Things change awfully quickly in the world of striped bass fishing.  As soon as you think you have them figured out, the fish throw you a curve ball and leave you scratching your head. Earlier this week we found boat loads of bass in relatively shallow water, less than 30 feet.  These areas were for …

Deep Water Bassing | August 15 and 16 Report
August 14, 2012

Sometimes you spend hours upon hours searching for fish.  Other times you find the fish, and spend hours knocking them over the head with everything in the tackle box just trying to get that one bite. And then there are days when you find tons of fish and they eat whatever you throw at them.  …

Cape Cod Striped Bass Fishing at its Finest | August 14 Report
August 13, 2012

I do a lot of trolling for striped bass with the tube and worm and occasionally with bunker spoons.  When trolling the tube and worm I like to troll 3 tubes at one time.  Successfully trolling 3 lines at one time is much easier if you incorporate the right set of rod holders into your …
