June Striper fishing in Cape Cod Bay has been outstanding. Save one afternoon trip with a nasty east wind, it has pretty well been limits and lots of releases on a daily basis. We have been splitting our time fairly evenly between Billingsgate Shoal and Provincetown, as both areas are holding tremendous numbers of fish. The middle of the bay has also been productive, as one afternoon we found acres of migrating Stripers on Top near the Fishing Ledge. While most of our fishing has been trolling, we haven’t even had to break out the wire rigs once this year. We’ve also seen far more surface feeding fish than usual, and have been able to break out the spinning gear on many occasions. Monday, there were hoards of Bass on top, and seemed like they were fighting each other for 9″ sluggos on top.
There are no guarantees in fishing, but this is pretty darn nice right now..
Good luck,
