It was a bright and sunny morning as I pulled into New Seabury Marina, located behind Popponesset Island in Mashpee. For this trip I had received an invitation from Mike Starr (who joined My Fishing Cape Cod way back in 2014) to hop onboard his beautiful boat Joint Venture. The wind was light and variable and …
