Catching keeper-size fluke is typically easier when fishing from a boat. However, there are areas scattered throughout Cape Cod & the Islands where it’s very possible to catch fluke from shore. In this post I’d like to recap a very fun shore bound fluke fishing trip. Although this trip occurred several years ago, I assure you that fluke …
Some nights on Cape Cod are pure magic. This was one of them. August 10th, 2025 – 3 hours after low tide, 10:45 PM under the glow of the August Sturgeon Moon. What started as another night fishing session turned into a catch I’m remember when this beautiful 40+ inch striped bass crushed my offering in the moonlight. The fight was incredible, the release was perfect, and the memories will last forever. There’s something special about landing a fish like this under a full moon that every angler dreams about.
...What do striped bass eat? That is a question I receive every so often. The honest answer is that striped bass eat many types of fish, crustaceans, worms and more. At times they will even eat one another! This is a continually updated blog post, because I’m continually filming striped bass eating different prey items! Most recently, …
8 years ago today, as the sun was sinking low in the sky, big stripers were swirling all around my kayak, and it was obvious to me that most of the fish were 35 pounds or larger. Today I figured I would re-publish this post and video, because I feel what I experienced could be replicated …
It’s 4th of July week on Cape Cod, and I can’t believe how fast this year has flown by. Our baby daughter Hallie—who was a newborn during last year’s celebration—is now practically a toddler ready to take her first steps. Time really does slip past us. This week holds special meaning for everyone in the …
As we move into the summer season, I can’t help but think about warm sunny days spent along the beaches of the Cape. Recently I’ve found myself daydreaming about the turquoise colors and clear water of the flats off Brewster. This lead me to an old post about a unique experience I had on this very …

...There’s been some amazing striped bass caught on Cape Cod over the past few days! Most notably, My Fishing Cape Cod member Grant Stark posted a photo in our forum to the Surfcasters’ Thread of a beautiful 45-46 inch striper he caught from shore just the other day on May 8th. This fish is Grant’s …
There’s something sacred about a 3:30 AM wake-up call for a fisherman. The house sits in perfect stillness—a rare commodity when you have both a wife, a baby, a dog and a cat under the same roof. This morning was no different as I tiptoed around in the dark, careful not to make the rookie mistake of wearing my “swishy” Grundéns bibs indoors. (Those of you with sleeping spouses know exactly what I’m talking about—nothing kills a fishing trip faster than waking your significant other at an ungodly hour.)
...The 2025 Massachusetts black sea bass fishing season is scheduled to open on Saturday May 17th. After a long winter, many anglers can’t wait to go black sea bass fishing – including me! Not only are black sea bass some of the best tasting fish we have here on Cape, but they are also very fun …
This morning, as spring sunshine bathed Cape Cod in golden light, my wife Lauren and I introduced our 10-month-old daughter Hallie to one of our peninsula’s most sacred rituals: the herring run.Today marked Hallie’s first encounter with Cape Cod’s silver messengers of spring – river herring.While I stood mesmerized by the silver flashes surging upstream, …
Spring has arrived on Cape, and one early season fishery I am hoping materializes in 2025 is the nearshore haddock bite in Cape Cod Bay. Last year this bite never got going with any consistency, but in years past the fishing not far from shore in the bay has been great. We will just have to …
