Trying to predict results of a fishing trip is never easy but sometimes the unpredictability can turn into great success. Fishing a south facing beach Tuesday, Carl and I had a specific plan to find and catch striped bass and we were confident the stripers would be there. After few hours of absolutely nothing, seeing no bait, catching no fish, we were planning to move to another beach location. As we walked back to our cars we decided to make that “last cast” at a spot with no outstanding features like rocks, weeds or any signs that there may be fish there but we cast our top water lures anyway. We were glad we did, over the next hour 8 striped bass were caught between 25 and 33 inches and 4 of those were over 30 inches! (Carl with 33 inch bass)

Learn to Surf Cast with Sports Port
May 14th 9am at Keyes Memorial Beach in Hyannis we will host our 2nd annual Surfcasting Seminar. Register for this informative, fun and FREE event at our Hyannis location or now on our website.
Sports Port’s Pro Staffer, “Striper Mike” will lead the group with a rundown on proper gear and general surfcasting information. We will then take that info and put it to use by taking some casts from the beach. Bring your own gear or you are welcome to use rods and reels we will have on hand for the event.
All ages are welcome. This event is perfect for beginners but also helpful for the more experienced anglers who may want some helpful tips to improve their cast. We will have a few prizes to raffle off too, so register now!
