Fishing Season Is Here!!!
The 2026 Cape Cod fishing season is officially underway, and if this first report from Sam Mullen of the Goose Hummock Shop in Orleans is any indication, it's shaping up to be a season worth getting excited about. From freshwater trout in the kettle ponds to migratory striped bass pushing through the Cape Cod Canal and Cape Cod Bay, there's plenty of action to be had — if you know where to look and what to throw. Here's a full breakdown of what's biting, where to find them, and what to have in your tackle bag.
In this report, Sam goes into detail on:
- After slower spring, Cape Cod kettle ponds are on fire
- Targeting big trout, bass, and other freshwater opportunities
- Striped Bass migratory fish have arrived all over Cape Cod
- BIG early season striped bass being taken in Cape Cod Bay
- Cape Cod Canal has "lit up" this week
- Early season plug selections for striped bass
- Blustery unsettled weather options to fish the next several days
- Black Sea Bass set to open
