Ryan Collins A “mega school” of young striped bass is what myself, MFCC member Doug Blanchard, and film crew Shane Uriot and Evan Schneider encountered a few days ago here on Cape Cod. The giant school of fish appeared this past Sunday September 24th at 4pm, while we were filming a fly fishing episode for the 2018 …
Ryan Collins The fog was thick as I cast my Guppy pencil popper at the Cape Cod Canal. I heard stripers crushing bait on the surface moments before my Guppy got inhaled.I could not see a thing, but the audio effects were terrific. Large pops and smacks from bass crushing mackerel and peanut bunker echoed …
Jake Collins I’ve been fishing since I was eight years old, however I still have a euphoric feeling after my son Ryan and I landed a 9 foot long, 780 pound giant tuna this past Friday. I have been chasing giants rather unsuccessfully since my teenage years. I’ve caught plenty of cod, haddock, mackerel and stripers …
Ryan Collins During September throughout Cape Cod & the Islands, small baitfish known locally as “peanut bunker” begin to move along the shoreline.These fish travel in large dense schools containing thousands upon thousands of fish. Needless to say the schools of peanut bunker often attract the attention of striped bass, bluefish, false albacore and sometimes …
Ryan Collins False albacore may just be the hardest-fighting inshore fish species on Cape Cod – and September just happens to be the prime month for targeting them.If you have never caught an albie before, then you will be in for a treat when you finally do! Below is a video preview of our newest …
Ryan Collins It’s that time of the year when true monster fish filter into the waters surrounding Cape Cod & the Islands.Specifically I am talking about 500+ pound giant bluefin tuna. These are the same fish you see being caught on the hit TV show Wicked Tuna. If you have access to a boat and …

I had the cameras rolling …
Ryan Collins Not surprisingly, the old reliable tube and worm continues to work for myself and my crews as we inch towards the end of August. The tube and worm can be a lethal addition to your arsenal, especially if you primarily fish Cape Cod during daylight hours. There is just something about properly trolled tubes …
Ryan Collins This weekend we encountered hundreds of diving birds working over fast-moving Atlantic Bonito, which just arrived here on Cape Cod.On Saturday my friend Jay Mazzola, my wife Lauren and myself, hit the water together in search of these speedsters. It was not long until we found dozens of terns and other seabirds diving into the …
Kurt Saraceno The Nantucket Big Game Battle took place last Thursday-Saturday (August 10-12). The BGB is a tournament that takes place annually to raise money for charity. Starting on Thursday night, the captains’ meeting took place in the Boat Basin to review any new rule changes and gave crews the opportunity to share intel before …
Ryan Collins Some people think trolling tube and worm for striped bass is boring, and I understand the reasons why.However for me, trolling the tube is exciting. Tube and worming is also one of the most effective ways to catch big bass on Cape Cod during the heat of August. Oftentimes when trolling tubes, the best hits come …
Jason Mazzola If you own a boat and pursue bluefin tuna, then you know how challenging it can be to keep your boat, tackle and equipment in top-notch condition. For example, I completely missed last year’s Cape Cod tuna fishing season because I was rebuilding my 23 foot SeaCraft center console. However I am pumped to …
