Striped
Bass and Bluefish off Chatham, Cape Cod and the rips of Nantucket
Island. There are many methods to fish for big striped bass
and slammer
bluefish when fishing Cape Cod and the islands. Some of the
methods that we employ are casting and vertical jigging with
artificial lures and trolling with wire line. Also when
we find stripers, And conditions are right we will set up a drift and try to bait them
with sand eels and circle hooks on very light tackle. When
the
bite is hot this can make for a case of serious cockpit round
robin with rods going off in unison.
Troll the
sunrise bite offshore for school class bluefin tuna and then
finish your trip fishing inshore for big striped bass off of
Monomy Island. This a great way to spend a day on the water
sport fishing on Cape Cod.
We fish the
nutrient rich waters off Cape Cod for these tenacious fish.
This trip leaves in the early am and is a all day trip. We
troll a full offshore tuna spread for these fish and double
digit
catches are common.
