Ryan Collins This past weekend I spent two nights surfcasting a specific type of area I feel is one of the most reliable places to find fish on Cape Cod. On Friday night I fished with MFCC intern Andrew Burke and MFCC podcast host Kevin Collins. On Saturday night I headed back to the same general area …
Ryan Collins If you follow My Fishing Cape Cod on Snapchat (username: fishingcapecod) then you know I fished Rhode Island this morning. Expect more on that trip coming soon, but for now I would like to focus on the spectacular surfcasting I’ve been encountering throughout the Cape area. There are other My Fishing Cape Codders doing well …
Ryan Collins The surfcasting I have encountered the past several days has been red hot! Big striped bass in the 20-30 pound range have been swimming incredibly close to shore, even during daylight hours, which is unusual. 48 hours ago I stumbled upon a school of quality bass feeding among weeds and rocks. On my fifth …
Ryan Collins The wind was blowing cool air across the ocean and into my nostrils. A bright full moon shone from above. It was a perfect Cape Cod summer night, and I felt there was a good chance of some big fish showing up in the surf. The moon was shining bright over my right shoulder, …
Ryan Collins Most of the beaches on Lower Cape Cod are pristine and undeveloped. Fishing this area feels more “wild” than fishing other spots on Cape, and that is a major reason why I so much enjoy fishing this part of the world. When I set foot on the beach around 5pm yesterday evening, I …
Ryan Collins The Memorial Day Weekend rush was over. My drive down Route 6 was fast and easy. By 4pm I had arrived at ABC Campground in North Truro. The friendly staff checked me in, and within an hour I was ready to go fishing. With miles of coastline and perfect weather, I felt like a kid on …
Ryan Collins It has been nearly 1 year since I fished the beaches of Lower Cape Cod with MFCC members Jim Murphy and Chas Salmon. Last year’s trip with Jim and Chas turned out to be quite memorable. We caught plenty of fish from shore and enjoyed some gorgeous weather. It has also been nearly 1 …
Ryan Collins Yesterday I had a terrific opportunity to play golf with two longtime members of My Fishing Cape Cod. Jeff Richard and Warren Fairbanks, if you are reading this please know I had a great time, despite my inability to break 100! ​Once golf was finished I immediately set to preparing my gear, food, tackle …
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 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 …
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 …
