Location and Access
Captain Tyler Putney has consistently been heading southeast to the greater Monomoy area, one of Cape Cod's most productive striped bass summer destinations. The journey around the corner of Monomoy Island opens up access to some of the most dynamic fishing in the region. Using advanced radar technology, Tyler can identify bird activity up to three miles away, a crucial tool for locating active feeding zones.

- Locating striped bass, bluefish, and bonito around Monomoy
- The importance of tidal flow when fishing the Monomoy Rips
- How to position your boat and your crew when fishing the rips
