by Kevin Collins

As summer draws to a close and Cape Cod prepares for its legendary fall run, anglers are enjoying an uptick in activity in a variety of areas. With only days remaining before the official start of autumn on September 22nd, conditions are yielding a solid albacore, bonito, and striped bass bite in many different locations.
