Fishing reports, videos and more.
The waters around the west end of the Cape Cod Canal and Hog Island Channel are truly one-of-a-kind. There are strong currents, lots of rocks and boulders, and oftentimes lots of boat traffic. There are certain conditions here that can create potential hazards on the water. In particular, the combination of a strong south running …
Bunker spoons often catch the largest striped bass in a given area. If you want to target the cows, then consider trolling spoons. I first trolled bunker spoons off Cape Cod when I was 18 or 19 years old. Most of the stripers I have caught trolling bunker spoons have weighed at least 25 pounds, with …
This post was originally published in 2019. With the boating season right around the corner, we figured now would be a good time to re-publish this post. This past Labor Day, I had the pleasure of joining captain Shawn Brule of TowBoatUS Cape Cod/Plymouth for a behind the scenes look at their incredible operation. The plan …
During late summer and fall here on Cape Cod we are gifted by the appearance of false albacore, which are in my opinion the most exciting fish to catch on light tackle! Albies fight harder and longer than striped bass and bluefish. They go on mad runs, stripping dozens of yards of line from a light …
One year ago on June 4th 2020, I had a unique opportunity to film and photograph a school of hundreds of striped bass as they hunted sand eels along the bottom and on the surface. In this video, we primarily utilized epoxy jigs which closely imitated the profile of the sand eels which the bass …

This footage is from a squid fishing trip back on May 5th, 2020.Below are the chapters (video timestamps) for this video, as well as extra information about fishing for squid off Cape Cod, …
Back in September of 2018, my mom Kathy and I headed out onto Cape Cod Bay for a morning of tube and worm trolling.During this trip I used my sonar to locate the schools, and then I trolled one tube and worm fished on lead core directly through the center of each school.The majority of …
Back on November 7th I hosted a group of members from My Fishing Cape Cod for a live presentation, Q&A session, and online meetup.During this event I shared a video presentation which featured some of my favorite video clips from the 2020 Cape Cod spring fishing season. Content included squid fishing, tautog fishing, striper fishing and …
A lot of my striper fishing is done using artificial lures. However, over the past few years I have enjoyed fishing for bass with chunk bait. I’ve found that stripers will often show interest in chunk baits, even during the middle of a hot summer day, when nothing else is working.However, I recently learned a valuable …
Note from Ryan: This post was originally published on August 4th of 2015. I figured now would be a good time to re-publish this post, because there has been growing interest in the forum about raking your own sand eels. This past Friday morning I received a text message invitation from MFCC member “frankzappa” asking …
Steve O’Malleymember since 2014This past Sunday morning started like any other. The plan was to be up and on the boat before dawn, send and receive a few texts with my MFCC network, and then head out looking for the early bite. The fishing in Buzzards Bay has been a little slow lately. They’re here, somewhere, …
