Get a wetsuit and come swimming with me at night some time...those splashes you'll hear are propbably only seals playing around in the water.
You sure? This guy thought he had a decent fish on the cape while in a wetsuit..until something wanted it more. https://www.facebook.com/saltycape/posts/450848278421471NO THANK YOU SIR!!!!

Nice catch!!There's plenty of fish to be found outside the commercial fleet. I got 348 lbs by myself for the most part yesterday. There's plenty of fish you just have to find them. If you think the amount of boats has anything to do with the lack of fish you catch you are sadly mistaken.
Nailed this 45" 36lb slob Thursday morning
Funny thing is 10% of us catch 90% of the comm fish landed. The rest just follow us around looking for a bent rod and delusions of getting rich.
Ryder's cove, barn hill etc. i don't have an answer, except maybe issue tags based on history so we can fish whenever we want..... Funny thing is 10% of us catch 90% of the comm fish landed. The rest just follow us around looking for a bent rod and delusions of getting rich.
I hear ya! I don't go to that area any longer! There are days I'm sorry I gave up my commercial slip and storm mooring in two of the best deep water harbors in the area.
I'd upgrade your gear and throw some chunk seal..maybe hope for a great white!!At the cape this week. Surf casted the last two nights around high tide on the bay side without a bite.
Rain tonight but gonna give it a a go on the ocean side tommorrow, hopefully with some live, fresh bait. Been mainly using poppers, Bombers and Fin- s so far.
any tips on the Eastham area? Think I'm gonna give Nauset Harbor inlet a try.
I only get to surf cast 1 week a year while on vacation and even then it's usually after the kiddos go to bed at night for a couple hours
the fish off nauset are about 2.5 miles from the beach, nothing comes inshore anymore mainly because of the seals. youll get schoolies in the spring though.At the cape this week. Surf casted the last two nights around high tide on the bay side without a bite.

That is what its all about.Had a awesome night last night, didn't catch sh!t.
Hit Coast Guard Beach for a couple hours. Wasn't going to make the walk to Nauset Inlet after running around on the beach all day with kiddos, plus the south end of CG beach was closed off due to some nesting birds and high tide.
Spend a few hours chucking sand eels, watching a cool meteor shower, having a couple beers. All while watching my surf casters tip bounce around.
Perfect relaxation.
Another good night last night..Had our commercial limit in 2 hours.

Ahhh so your the 2 surf casters Paul was talking about!
I received a PM asking where my cousin caught that fish. He lives down by Cape Cod Canal and was likely in that area.
Start them early!
