Over the past couple of weeks I have really enjoyed using my drone and underwater cameras to film fish and marine wildlife on Cape Cod. If you were able to watch the recent menhaden or humpback videos then you know what I mean! I really enjoy the challenge and reward of filming fish in unique ways.
When I was kid I would often dream about what it looked like down there along the bottom of the ocean. I would also ponder how things looked for the sea gulls and terns which flew above. To my amazement technology has now made it possible for us to see the images we once could only dream about.
Drone & Underwater Video of the Monomoy Rips
The footage above was filmed at the Monomoy Rips on July 27th, 2021. It originally appeared in season 5 of My Fishing Cape Cod TV.
Even though this video is now over one year old, I wanted to re-share it, because I hope people will gain a deeper appreciation of striped bass after watching. I also find it very peaceful watching fish and it helps to keep me in a good mood. Plus according to my analytics, not too many people have seen this footage before, so I figured it would be beneficial to re-post.
I hope you enjoy watching these amazing fish as much as I do! Please let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. ✌🏻
Tight lines! 🎣

Fascinating footage!
What would you estimate the size of these fish to be? I was thinking low 20s?
I was surprised how much they move around, constantly repositioning.
My arms almost reflexively want to toss a soft plastic as I watch this!
Good guess Tim! The fish were in the low to mid-20’s. I bet an Albie Snax or a Slug-Go would of worked pretty well!
Always enjoy your work.
Always enjoy having you as part of MFCC! Thanks Eddie!
Incredible and very educating footage! Thanks for sharing, Ryan.
I’m glad you enjoyed it Johan. Good luck fishing if you make it out this week!
Thank you for re-posting. I am impressed by the footage from below and above. It definitely gives us a minute understanding of how the fish and rip tides interact in this particular event. Very fascinating.
I too enjoyed the calming and peaceful feeling I get watching this video.
Thanks again.
My pleasure Steve and I’m really happy you enjoyed the video. More to come soon! Tight lines 🎣
I’m impressed by the seemingly minimal effort the fish use to maintain position in the rips
Good point Stephen. They are definitely built well for the job.
