Cape Cod Fishing Reports

Haddock Fishing with Hogy Sand Eel Jigs      It’s the early season on Cape Cod as we head…

Bonito Bar has slowed appreciably but folks are still catching all four species up around Great Point. 

A couple more shore bonito are being caught this week. The albie bite has slowed down significantly. Some bluefish continue to be caught around Chappy. Bass fishing is slow. 

There are castable size tuna within three miles of Nauset, with the jig bite being the best. Some large bass have also been mixed in with the bluefin. Shore fishing is picking up with bass in the low 30-inch class. 

Albie fishing around Monomoy has been disappointing so far this season. Other than some folks picking at larger bass on live eels, the bass fishing has also been on the slow side. 

The most consistent fishing around the sounds continue to be along the southside. Albie fishing has been slow and inconsistent. The tautog bite is getting off to a slow start around Collier’s. 

Woods Hole is still harboring some albies but no bonito have been reported. The tautog bite has been good. 

Some folks have insisted the albie fishing has been very good while others haven’t been as lucky. There are a lot of smaller bluefish around and shore and kayak anglers have catching schoolies in marshes and skinny water. Tautog fishing is good but the bigger fish haven’t moved in yet. 

Regulars at the canal who are putting in their time at night fishing eels or jigging have been picking up some nice fish. The albies continue to add some excitement to the fishing in the land cut. Any pushed of bigger bait into the Ditch would have occurred already. 

Schoolie fishing in Barnstable Harbor has remained consistent. Short anglers are picking up some bass and bluefish from Indian Neck. The tube-and-worm has been the preferred technique for targeting bigger bass. The Bluefin bite remains strong and albies continue to entertain anglers.
