It's a sunny, clear and cool day on Cape Cod, with a crisp breeze blowing from the west. In this video, I'd like to share with you a brand new Cape Cod fishing report and MFCC news update which I hope you will enjoy.
There are still striped bass being caught on Cape (more on that in the video), and bluefin tuna fishing could remain strong right through Thanksgiving. Tautog are also biting well.
However, on days like today, I can't help but reminisce and feel a little melancholic, as I daydream about watching the summer moonlight on Cape Cod Bay, or the sunrise over Nauset Beach.

Fortunately the freshwater fishing on Cape has been great. This past week I caught more than a dozen largemouth bass in just a couple hours of fishing. Many anglers from MFCC are also doing well on trout.
With the cold weather months looming on the horizon, I hope these videos provide you with a spark of warmth and fishing excitement-even if you've already hung up your fishing rod for the season.

Tight lines 
Hey Ryan, Thanks for the shout out about our Tautog trip. It sure was fun! I sent the you tube video to my brother and brother in law. Between the 3 of us we must have pulled in 40 fish maybe more, nine keepers. We worked hard but so worth the experience and the reward! yum
I bet you all ate well this past week! That sounds like an awesome trip, especially for this late in the season. Thanks for sharing the video with your family.
My friend is out there tautog fishing today so we’ll see how he does. ??
Thanks for the great late season report Ryan. Just to confirm your comments concerning late season stripers, on Nov. 22, 2013 I caught a 44″ fish from the beach on a fly (still my personal best shore caught fly caught fish).
Haven’t had time to fish from the beach lately, but plan to get a couple more trips in before it’s over.
Thanks again.
Paul
Hey Paul, I remember that fish! What an awesome fly fishing experience that must of been. Even if most of the fish have moved on, it’s so cool to know there are always a few late-season monsters out there. Good luck out there! ?
