The Bluefish usually spend their time at the Upper Cape rips but they
can also be found close to the shoreline. The bonito fish stay close to
the Islands and stripers stay in the shallow water where the coves and
other structures provide cover. The herring can be found along the
canal and along the south shore. Most species of fish can always be
found near structures such as rocks, ledges, brush, grass and so forth
so make sure you concentrate in these areas.
Many experienced anglers will suggest you go fishing between the new
moon and the full moon for the best results. Any species of fish will
normally feed heavily right before high tide hits and for about an hour
after it is over. Fishing when the barometric pressure is rising will
also get you some great results.
If you are visiting Cape Cod for the first time you may want to
consider enlisting the help of a charter service if you want to go out
on the water fishing instead of surf fishing.
When hiring a charter service be sure and explain what type of fishing
you want to do to make sure they can accommodate your need. By
understanding exactly what you want to get out of your fishing trip
they will be able to take you to all the hot spots. After one visit to
Cape Cod you will be hooked for good.
