This brings us to last weekend. Two charter trips and two impromptu afternoon trips led to some of the best fishing of the year.

Weekend Warrior: Save us, O mighty schoolie
The bass fishing has been as good as it’s ever been, according to some. Just not in Cape Cod Bay. Big bass found the pogie schools along the South Shore up to Boston in open water a few weeks ago and they have not relented. Charter captains and those lucky enough to get in on […]

Weekend Warrior: Grind it out!
It’s been a weird start to the season. But I probably don’t have to tell you that if you’re reading this. I thought for sure, I mean I would have bet anything, that Race Point and Backside would have lit up when the bass disappeared from Billingsgate. But there we were, Wednesday morning, running the […]

Weekend Warrior: Oh, we doin’ this thing?
Here I was, worryin’ away that the big push of bass would be nonexistent this year, and the migration goes and TOTALLY REDEEMS ITSELF. Big bass, I mean some real biggins’ folks, are in Cape Cod Bay. We’re talkin’ about bass up to 40lbs. Although it’s not Race Point and backside that’s holding the big […]

Weekend Warrior: Tourney Time
I’ve got a serious yearning for a big fish or two. I need to see some cows blasting mackerel with their big broom tails. I need to hear that Baitrunner scream. I need that Doc plug to get inhaled. I need it man! Buck striper season hasn’t exploded in the past few weeks like we’ve […]

Weekend Warrior: Is it time?
With the temps suddenly reaching typical summer levels, the big bass are finally beginning to show up. And show up they will. The plan this weekend is to find these larger fish, whatever the cost. Whatever it takes! However much gas we have to burn, we’re going to get it done. A reminder: we’re ramping […]

Weekend Warrior: the June new moon effect
If the striper season were a five-course meal, we’d be just about finishing our wedge salad and the server would be dropping sizzling 24oz New York Strip in front of us. Is that a good analogy? No, not at all. But it’s how I’m feeling right now. Sure, the bread was good. Soup and salad […]

Weekend Warrior: Fear of missing out on stripers
My FOMO runs strong this time of year. Every second I’m not fishing is spent thinking about fishing. Every scroll through my Instagram feeds brings me pictures of fresh caught stripers by all of you guys, and I find myself swearing under my breath and locking my phone, only to pick it back up in […]

Report: Stripers are here
The spring run has officially started. Water temperatures continue to climb around the Cape and the bass seem to be ahead of schedule this year, at least compared to last year. This past weekend, the outgoing tides around dawn and dusk in upper Buzzards Bay gave us our first legitimate shots at finding stripers in […]
