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.

The following video was filmed in Cape Cod Bay during September of 2019. I figured I would share this video today as a reminder for everyone to keep an eye out for ocean sunfish while boating.

I have been fascinated by ocean sunfish (also called mola molas) ever since I was a kid.

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!
