Striper fishing in Cape Cod Bay has continued to be excellent. We’re riding a nice streak here, limiting out every charter over the last two weeks (knocking wood while I write this).
While that’s been fun, Saturday’s trip gave us reason to brag:
Kate and Jack (Captain Don’s Grandkids) age 7 and 9 made their first trip looking for some keeper Stripers. Fishing was great and the Bass cooperated. Each of the kids got 6 or 7 nice keepers, with Kate leading the day with a 38″ fish and Jack following up with one a little better than 36″. We are also fishing in the Canal Bait and Tackle Striper Tourney this week, and to make their day official we went and weighed up the fish. Although I’m sure they were knocked out within the hour, the kids did rank 1 and 2 on the leaderboard after their weigh in – and to a couple of little kids, that might have been the highpoint of the summer.
On the tuna front – they are all over the place. Don took a group out whalewatching today, and just for kicks put one line out when the tuna came up smashing everywhere. They ended up losing the fish they hooked, but it was just some extra fun while checking out the whales.
