Cape Cod Fishing Report: June 6, 2024 Cape Cod Canal - Buzzard's Bay Earlier today, I stopped over at Canal Bait and Tackle in Sagamore to catch up with Jeff Miller and he reported that after the bite tailed off in the Cape Cod Canal– especially around the Sagamore Bridge – as the east current began to slack mid-morning, a bunch of folks who had been in on the bite – both on plugs and jigs – came in to restock to fish the turn.

Cape Cod Fishing Report: 6/4/2024 Nantucket Sound REALLY nice day filming in Nantucket Sound. Took a few friends out on shoot to show the “behind scenes” of a Salty TV One angler was brand new to fishing. In my line of work I don’t fish with enough newbies. I was reminded how invigorating it is to see such an awesome sport through a beginner’s eyes.

Cape Cod Fishing Report: 6/1/2024 Wasque If there is one thing that is consistent right now it’s the inconsistency of the wind direction that last several days and it looks like it is going to continue into this week. This morning, it was southeast, but it’s now gone around southwest before shifting to west tonight and northwest tomorrow in the AM and finally moving around to east in the afternoon.
