Ocean sunfish are often a common sight off Cape Cod during late summer and early fall. Cape Cod Bay and the Canal seem to be hotspots for these curious animals.

I'm fortunate to have grown up on the beach, and I've been fishing since kindergarten. I have great family, friends and fishing experiences to be thankful for. Just being out there is enough-catching fish is just a bonus!
