by Kevin Collins

His insights reveal key locations and tactics that are producing exceptional results.

Monomoy: The Crown Jewel of Striper Fishing


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.

In this report Tyler goes into great detail about:

  • 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
  • Where and how MFCC group trips have successfully targeted bonito
  • South of the islands fishing for mahi-mahi and recreational bluefin tuna
  • The jig bite vs the troll bite for recreational bluefin
  • Awaiting the arrival of false albacore
  • Anticipating the remainder of August leading into the fall run
