The "shoulder seasons" are my favorite times to go surfcasting on the beaches of Cape Cod's National Seashore.
The crowds have dissipated, leaving me all alone on the beach with just the bass, birds, seals and coyotes.
Yesterday I arrived in Truro with my lovely wife Lauren for a day of exploring and fishing the unspoiled beaches of the National Seashore. Prior to the trip I contacted My Fishing Cape Cod member Dave Frennesson, who regularly rents his Truro cottage to fishermen and vacationers.
You might remember this cottage from back in the spring, when I coined it the Truro Fish House after a successful 4 day and 3 night stay.

The cottage where I am staying in Truro is owned by My Fishing Cape Cod member Dave Frennesson. Click here to learn more about this great little rental.
Lauren and I arrived at Dave's cottage around 3PM. We quickly unpacked and headed down the road to Great Hollow Beach, which is about one quarter of a mile from the cottage.
Cape Cod Bay was glistening in the afternoon sun as Lauren and I began our walk south along the beach. The tide was incoming and there were birds working about one quarter of a mile offshore.
Despite the positive signs of life, I was not really "feeling" the spot. Something told me we should hustle back to my car and make a move to another nearby spot before sunset.​

Thanks for the report Ryan, we will be in ptown later this week. Going to hit all the beaches and also gull pond for trout.
Nice Ryan!
Thanks for reading Leslie!
Head of the Meadow has always been one of my favorites, day or night. Beautiful and wild place to fish. Have very seldom been let down by fishing there. Is that old 50’s vintage beach buggy still stuck in the wash there ?
The meadow behind the dunes is spectacular.
I have not seen the vintage beach buggy, but I will definitely keep an eye peeled next time I am there!
Thanks for commenting Gary.
Nice article! Awesome that there are still bass off Head of the Meadow. Have heard unconfirmed reports of bass off Race Point as well.
I have also heard that Dave. We had a member from the site fishing Race Point last week and they caught small stripers and decent size bluefish (up to 30 inches).
