As typical of this time of the year, the reports from guides and recreational fisherman are fading away. The fish are in fall migration mode so your favorite spot will be hit or miss.

The Fall Run is starting to heat up. Things are starting to happen. Be sure to check out the video of tuna blitzing from Riptide Charters, at the end of this weeks report.

As the season has progressed, many boaters on and off the cape have switched their target species from bass to tuna. Early on they discovered that it looks like we are dealing with the same batch of fish as last year.  The same fish, except they are a year older and bigger, much bigger. Thus [...]

It’s shaping up to be a historic season for false albacore, with anglers striking hard from Buzzards Bay to Monomoy. That’s gonna be good news for the tackle manufacturers as these fish show no mercy on the gear…

We are at the end of August. A time where various types of fishing really heats up. I have a love/hate relationship with this time of the year. I love the chance to chase after the different species.

As the years progress, more and more electronic gadgets and “must haves” become part of our fishing gear.  Some of the more obvious items include, fishfinders, gps, radios and cell phones.  All of these items can be used by both shore and boat people.  It it just gets better with all the apps that are [...]

The Islands are hoping, with funny fish showing up, tuna offshore, and even blitzes of bass on the beach. Elsewhere on the Cape, things are alive and kicking as well.
