Canal Bait and Tackle

The big fish began moving down from Plymouth and Jeff from Canal Bait & Tackle said there are big bass on pogies from Scusset Beach to the east end and out into Cape Cod Bay where fishermen in boats were live lining pogies and catching 40-inch bass. Those fish have made forays into the east end but there are schools of bass feeding from the east end all the way up Cape Cod Bay to P-Town. There have been a few blitzes in the canal with mostly schoolies or smaller blues tearing it up but the guys soaking bait have taken some larger stripers. The closest the albies have come was the Falmouth Shoreline and up to Nobska and along the Elizabeths although everyone is hoping for them to make the trip through the canal. A few customers have taken albies up close to the Bass River area.

Jeff from Canal Bait & Tackle said the fishing has been solid all week with action from Plymouth to Cape Cod Bay and up inside of the canal where numerous species of bait are working from west to east. Beside good numbers of stripers from Maine to Cape Cod Bay there are tuna in the Cape Cod Bay as well. Their former employee Anthony boated two giant bluefin over 100-inches in Cape Cod Bay. There are some very big scup on both side of the canal with hub cap size scup just off the docks and abutments in the east end. Stop in and check out their custom canal rods.
