Goose Hummock Shop

Our friend Danny at the Goose Hummock Shop was busy taking inventory and preparing the fishing department for a large shipment of new inventory. The fishing has been good for those who are able to get out and Ian has been making some night trips after the wind dies down and catching stripers from schoolies to slots in the Cape Cod Bay side rivers, harbors and inlets. The guys heading for the canal are enjoying some great fishing for schoolies, slots and some bonito in the mix as fish are moving down from the Boston area and heading for the east end of the canal. Dan has been freshwater fishing when he has to opportunity, but he laments that the drought has caused many of the ponds to be as low as he has seen them in quite some time. He managed some trout and said the state has made their initial stocking run.

Ian at the Goose Hummock Shop said the fishing had been good up until the blow. Most of the kayak crowd and small boats were on hold for the wind and rain to stop before they hit the water, while others fished the canal which was very good last week with a good mix of all sizes of stripers. The Buzzards Bay area has been a good place to fish and many don’t mind making that trip because the schoolies and some legal size bass were working there and there were also reports of some bonito working up along the north shore. The fishing in Cape Cod Bay should improve as soon as the wind dies and the water clears up and the freshwater fishing in their area is almost always a very good option.
