On the evening of July 14th big stripers were swirling all around my kayak, and it was obvious to me that most of the fish were 35 pounds or larger. This was a serious school of cow striped bass, and I wondered if my 9 weight fly rod could handle these huge fish! Just then a giant

Success with Stripers @ the Truro “Fish House”
November 4, 2016

This week I encountered thousands of schoolies while fly fishing from my kayak off Cape Cod.

We are certainly blessed to be seeing all these small stripers so late in the season! Perhaps they will stick around for a few more days – dare I say weeks!

The following kayak/fly fishing trip occurred earlier this week on the morning of Wednesday November 2nd. These fish were still here as of today.

Thousands of Schoolie Striped Bass
October 23, 2016

The striper fishing for me the past 72 hours has been challenging.

There have been some good pushes of fish through parts of the Cape (we’ll talk about that later) but for me the fishing has been very hit and miss.
On Thursday night I had this decent trip jigging on Cape with 8 bass up to 30 inches. On Friday and Saturday I decided to head off Cape and explore Plymouth Bay via kayak.

This past weekend I was able to venture out in the kayak in the early AM and again in the evening. During both trips I was lucky to find striped bass in very shallow water. Some of these fish were quite large too. The biggest of the bunch was a 25-30 pounder which was hooked in
