The Surfcasting Experience

The winner of this giveaway will be able to redeem this experience anytime between September 10th 2021, and June 15th 2022 based on availability. Not available during holiday periods. We are flexible and will work with your schedule.

For anyone who's never done it before, the thrill of hooking into a striped bass with both of your feet on the sand is oftentimes an experience that is never forgotten.

While there are never any guarantees in fishing, you can rest assured that I will do everything in my power to get you into some fish! 

At the very least, we'll visit one of Cape Cod's most scenic areas, and will be surrounded by natural beauty. From seals to piping plovers, you never know what we may encounter while fishing the beach.

It's best if we can time the trip for a day when high tide occurs sometime after sunset. Typically I like to fish the incoming tide from just before sunset into dark, and then fish the first part of the outgoing. 

The surfcasting trip will last between 6-8 hours and I can supply all rods, reels, lures and other necessary tackle and equipment. 

Also, if the winner of this giveaway wants to purchase any equipment, then I will personally visit the Goose Hummock Shop in Orleans with you for an outfitting session. It should be fun!

The Bayside Resort

The winner of this giveaway will receive a free two night stay at the Bayside Resort, which was recently voted as one of the best hotels on Cape Cod. 

The Bayside is located at 225 Route 28 in West Yarmouth, and it overlooks a beautiful and picturesque section of Lewis Bay.

The Bayside is a locally owned and managed property with the all amenities of the newest chain hotels plus the look, feel and charm of Cape Cod.

Their central location makes them a perfect home base for excursions, trips to the beach, golf or sightseeing. The hotel is located close to beaches, restaurants, shopping, ferries and many other Cape Cod attractions.

The Bayside also offers a variety of other Vacation Experience Getaways that will make your visit both fun and memorable!

Highlight of the trip by far was last Wednesday with my 7 and 9 year old sons at First Encounter beach, beautiful sunset, tide coming in and they pulled in a few schoolies with the joe baggs blurple swarter after watching your video!

  • Can’t wait to experience the fishing on the cape. Fully retired in March of 2022. Twenty five years of working in an ER has taken its toll both physically and emotionally. Can’t wait to relax.

  • What a wonderful mini vacation giveaway. Count me in and thank you Ryan for all you do.

  • Love reading your blog. Being in NH I’ve only fished for stripers once this year on PI, and haven’t been to the Cape since COVID. I miss it.

  • Ryan, I just love your website. I look forward to everything you write about. So happy Lauren is into fishing. We need more girls out there!
    Please enter me in the contest🍀

  • Sounds like an awesome trip. My wife and I are just getting started saltwater fishing. Love the emails and post! Thanks!

  • Thank you for your reports. I find them interesting and engaging. My wife and 11 year old just got into fishing this year or rather casting and losing lures as no one has caught any fish. Hopefully this will change in the future.

  • Thanks for letting me enter. I’ve fished the R.I. surf for years so it would be nice to see the outer cape during the fall run. Thanks again, Dan.

  • Great source on the latest action on the Cape! Keep doing what you love and do best!

  • I was a Member last year, but have not been able to get out and fish much the past couple of years ( Despite having a nice boat). Work and elderly parent care eats up all my time. I will join again next Spring. Love this group, best group of people on the Cape.
    I Love that Ryan takes the time to clean up the spots he comes across that have litter.

  • Thanks for all the good scoop on fishing. As far as skate wings you are right and years past before truth in advertising skate wings were cut in circles and sold as scallops.

  • There is something special about fishing. It’s not always about what you catch. It’s the sunrisses and sunsets, the shooting stars and difference in the ocean movements. You can fish in the same spot and have so many diferent experienes or explore the vast amount of different speicies that roam our shore or deep ocean canyons. You never know what you will see or catch. And even if you catch nothing,it can still be a perfect experience,

  • Thanks for all the fishing tips. We love getting your newsletter. Hope to catch some good fish during our next visit to Cape
    The Gillis Family

  • I look forward to your weekly updates. Even though I don’t fish the Cape as often as I would like, the information is very helpful!

  • By far one of the best fishing personalities in New England and at some point a local legend

  • Ryan. Thanks for putting on these great adventures. I’d love to get out and fish the beaches with you.

    • Please count me in. Your email newsletter is great and I look forward to it every week

  • Ryan, many thanks for your incredibly informative blog.

    Your love of the Cape and it’s natural beauty is clear for all your readers.

    Keep up the great work.

    Tight lines!!

  • Ahhh Ryan thanks for a sunny fishing forecast…all this rain sure is bleak. Just what I needed to pull out of the doldrums.
    Thanks !!
    Tall R.
