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.

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 [...]

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…

Albies at the Vineyard, albies in Buzzards Bay, and albies on the minds of lightackle and fly fishermen around the area. It’s the beginning of what looks like it could be an epic back end of the season!

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 [...]

There are some that would like to make the striped bass classified as a game fish. This got me to wondering what qualities should a fish have to qualify as a game fish? Is size an important factor? How about swimming speed? Maybe tailwalks once hooked should be a factor.

Things are looking good, especially for August. Good reports from both Nantucket and MV, as well as lots of tuna action in the Bay. The Monomoy rip action has slowed down, but we expect the funny fish action on the South Side to take off almost immediately.

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.

Right now as I write this introduction, the wind is whistling through the trees, a small craft warning has been posted.  Somewhere on the Cape there are waves crashing on the beach.  Most fisherman are aware of the importance of structure when it comes to targeting striped bass.  Unfortunately most of the structure found on [...]
