Cape Cod and the Islands Fishing Reports

CHARLEY SOARES-Cape Cod and the Islands

November 23, 2020 - 09:59:50

Trickle, trickle, trickle. That is the word from Boston, to the Canal, up around P-Town and back down the sound side after a few nights of sub-freezing weather sends stripers on their way. Some readers might recall an article I wrote in this magazine about returning to Duxbury from a cod trip with Captain Roger Jarvis on the weekend after Thanksgiving and running into legal bass in the 15- to 20-pound class a few miles off the Gurnet as they were moving down from Boston. Last week a tackle rep was up in Maine and reported they were still catching quite a few stripers in their rivers. The tautog bite has showed no signs of letting up and boats out of Rhode Island to Westport were catching limits of legal tog right up until the gale force winds moved in. Freshwater fishing is taking over as trout and black bass are on the feed.
