Springtime Topwater Cape Cod Striper Blitzes

Every so often the stars align and everything works out perfectly. The weather is cooperating, the fish are biting, the boat is running well etc.

This is exactly what myself and a crew of My Fishing Cape Codders encountered during this My Fishing Cape Cod group fishing trip.

This turned out to be one of the best striper bites we experienced all season. There are no guarantees when you go fishing with us on a MFCC group trip, but the action you'll encounter in this video is the ultimate goal!

During this trip we are fishing with captain Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters. Each week we organize at least one fishing trip with captain Cullen for members of My Fishing Cape Cod. Members of MFCC can hop onboard one of these trips at an affordable per person rate.

As mentioned above, each season we run a bunch of group fishing trips for MFCC members with captain Cullen. To get access to these trips, please signup as a member (if you have not already done so). 

Registration for group fishing trips happens all at once during the month of April. Any members of MFCC who are interested in hopping onboard a trip must register online. If you are a member, then you will receive an email notification well ahead of time so you don't miss your chance to register for a trip!

Tight lines ?

What do you think?

  • If you fished a bucktail or whipit fish underneath the fish hitting the surface plugs I wonder if you could catch even bigger fish?

  • I was on the trip with Ryan and Cullen and it was epic. Thanks to both of you for putting us on the fish. Great time.

  • Thanks Ryan,
