Falmouth Bait and Tackle

Christian from Falmouth Bait & Tackle said the bass fishing in the canal was red hot and the action along the Falmouth shore and the outside rips were producing stripers and some bluefish. He has restocked his sale table and he is preparing for their famous and extremely popular Big Game tourney which runs from July 11 to the 17th with big prizes and cash awards. It’s one of the few tourneys of its kind and has a great following from all over the coastline. There have been blues caught off Oregon Beach and Cotuit and bass moving up the sound to the ocean beaches. One of his New Jersey contacts made an offshore trip and hooked up to 71 small bluefin tuna. One of his customers fished in upper Buzzards Bay and caught his limit of black sea bass in the deepest water in the bay. Stop in and say hello.

Mike from Falmouth Bait & Tackle said the sand eels were thick and holding the bass in mid Buzzards Bay but making it harder to duplicate the prey. The Falmouth side has been producing bass from Nobska to Tarpaulin Cove and some fish were seen breaking in the area of Middle Ground and the rips off Nobska. The sea bass bite has been good off Megansett and the wreck of the Port Hunter with good sized knuckleheads well over the minimum size. No one from NY or Jersey has ventured offshore but Mike said the first good day one of those boats makes a trip should produce some fish. Stop in and see what they have on their sale table.
