March 2022 - Cape Cod pond fishing

By Striper Mike, Sports Port Pro Staff

 

Winter starved fishermen look forward to March and eagerly await Cape Cod pond fishing. The state began stocking these unfrozen ponds on March 7th and truckload after truckload of healthy, frisky rainbow, brook and brown trout started their new life in the Cape’s pristine fresh waters. As the March temperatures slowly warmed with the sun higher in the sky and daylight savings adding some extra daylight it was “game on” for shore, fly, kayak and car top fishermen - March did not disappoint, the trout action was tremendous with many of the Cape’s ponds reporting happy fishermen and as we approached the middle of the month, the largemouth bass started to become very active as well along with some of the fattest white perch I have ever seen. Well insulated waders and even one small boat adventure produced some terrific trout and bass fishing and April should be even better as we await the arrival of the striped bass migrating from the south.
