The bass and bluefish have arrived on Cape Cod and big ones too! We now have reports from all over the Cape - Buzzards Bay and the Cape Cod canal to the outer beaches of the lower Cape. Plenty more bass and bluefish on the way but now is time to get out there and catch big striped bass and bluefish from a boat, kayak or the beach.

Anthony, an outstanding Cape Cod fisherman, captured the essence of fishing Cape Cod in his Hobie kayak with this beautiful 40 inch striped bass and tough fighting gator bluefish. Congratulations and what a great day on the water Anthony!

Top water action has been working very well as well as soft plastics near the bottom (although you may want to put those away with those blues moving in).

Boat anglers have been successful fishing off the bottom for tautog and scup. Scup reports are in big numbers and large in size. Black sea bass opened yesterday! Send us your fish pics here.

The 11th annual Cheeky Schoolie Tournament took place yesterday and the first place team set a new record for inches caught! Congrats to all the participants. You can watch the video of the winners announced and the money raised for Striped Bass conservation here.

Stop by Sports Port and talk with Amy and the crew about proper gear and ways to get in on this outstanding fishing action.
