Fishing reports, videos and more.
Ryan Collins This adventure began well before dark, at the leisurely hour of 3pm. I had initially planned on using the kayak, but high winds convinced me to fish from shore. It was now after midnight, and after hours of casting, I was yet to catch a fish. During my last trip I had been extremely lucky …
Ryan Collins Migratory striped bass are moving up the East Coast of the United States, and it’s an exciting time of the year to be a fisherman. I would estimate that the first migratory stripers will arrive in Cape Cod waters within 3 weeks. However, you don’t have to wait for the big schools of …
Ryan Collins This trip began before sunrise nearly one year ago, on May 22nd, 2015. My friend Jeff Coates and I were en route to New Hampshire, to target big smallmouth bass as they prepared for the spawn. Although we would fish in New Hampshire, it is also very possible to target spawning smallmouths here …
Ryan Collins I was still half asleep when Buddy (a dog we are watching for our friends while they are away) dragged his wet and slobbery tongue across my cheek. Time to wake up! Temperatures were predicted to reach 70 degrees in Boston, with slightly cooler temperatures on the Cape. The day had infinite potential. Yet …
Captain Jason Colby At least once or twice a winter I go to visit my mother in the Boca Raton area of Florida.When I arrive for one of these visits, I purchase a temporary fresh and saltwater fishing license, and the first morning I am easily found by looking out my mother’s back window towards …
Last week I was fortunate to finally find a school of striped bass, huddled up in the backwaters of an estuary here on Cape Cod. You can read the full written report of that adventure by clicking here. I also captured the entire night on video, and in this post I want to share the video with …
Ryan Collins This past weekend felt more like April than February! With such warm temps, I decided to get outside and try yet again for the elusive holdover striped bass. So far this winter I am yet to catch a holdover striper on Cape Cod, but I am certainly not giving up. I felt pretty confident as …
Danny Guadagnoli The weather was quintessential autumn—foliage, a crisp breeze, and bright warming sun. I was officially psyched; finally, it was time to start relentlessly heaving plugs and covering as much ground as possible, working together as a fishing squad. Almost as soon as the group split to start casting, my friend Billy hooked up …
Ryan Collins I spent the past 48 hours exploring all over Cape Cod in search of the elusive winter holdover striped bass. I had a great experience and it felt wonderful to be outside breathing the icy cold winter air. I have not been fishing since Costa Rica, and this was my first trip of …
The air temp was warm and the wind was calm. The scene reminded me of a pleasant July or August morning back on the Cape. I waded into the tepid water of the Golfo Dulce and made my first cast. Little did I know I was about to catch to catch my biggest fish ever from …
Ryan Collins There was little doubt in my mind that monster-size fish were cruising the shore. After all I had been watching adult bonito go airborne, as they tried to escape the jaws of big Roosterfish. A few casts later and I see a giant swirl behind my swimming plug. I figured the swirl was …
