June 1st Lower Cape Cod Surfcasting Report

The Memorial Day Weekend rush was over. My drive down Route 6 was fast and easy.

By 4pm I had arrived at ABC Campground in North Truro. The friendly staff checked me in, and within an hour I was ready to go fishing.

With miles of coastline and perfect weather, I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve! However I still had my work cut out for me, because finding fish along these endless miles of sand can be quite the challenge.

I learned firsthand just how challenging surfcasting Lower Cape Cod ​can be when I walked and fished 27 miles of it last September. This time I prayed I would have an easier time finding the bite.

I arrived back at my tent just before sunrise. After walking close to 10 miles through the sand it did not take me long to fall asleep!

Right now I am getting some work done on my computer via the wifi connection at Savory and Sweet Escape in Truro. 

Once done I will be back on the beach and/or in the kayak for another night of exploring and fishing the many wild miles of coastline of the Lower Cape.

Tight lines!​

  • Hi Ryan, what are you wearing on your feet? Looks like wet suit boots?? Do you wear a wet suit boot over stocking feet waders? Any experience or suggestion for what you have found as a good surf boot? Do you wear a wet suit boot over stocking feet waders for sand and/or pebbly beach kind of condition?

  • Hi Ryan. Excellent site. Very informative and though i can’t get to the cape much i love living it vicariously through you.
    We will be coming down to the Bourne area later this month and bringing a couple young ladies who have never caught a striper. Rather than put them through the rigors of lure fishing i thought chunk bait might be their best bet. Can you reccommend a spot they might like?? Thanks!! Ken.

    • Hi Ken! Sounds like a fun trip you have planned.

      For chunks I would recommend fishing the beach 2 hours before to 2 hours after high tide. You could even fish right off the jetty at Scusset Beach.

      Good luck out there!

  • Sounds like a pretty good night Ryan! A few more fish than on the 27 mile hike and no coyotes! What’s with the dead birds though?
