Not all fishing spots are created equal…

The Cape Cod Canal is amongst the East Coast’s uppermost striper fishing destinations. Montauk, NY may very well be the sole location on Earth eclipsing the Canal when it comes to productivity and popularity with shore bound anglers.

The Cape Cod Canal is one of the few areas up and down the striper coast where fishermen casting from shore routinely hook up with 20, 30, 40 and 50 plus pound stripers.

There is an enormous learning curve when it comes to catching striped bass from the Cape Cod Canal. Understanding the tides, techniques, and productive spots often takes many years. Plenty of fishermen find fishing the Canal particularly frustrating, and quit before ever aquiring a chance to succeed.

On occasion it seems as if anybody who can cast more than 20 feet can hook a sizable striped bass at the Canal. In recent years these incredible bass blitzes have most often occurred during the spring. The fishing during these times can be fast and furious.

Yet for most of the year, any anglers landing large bass with any sort of consistency would be the guys fishing the best fishing spots during the right tide. Acquiring this knowledge normally takes years of time and experience.

These types of Cape Cod Canal fishing spots feature some form of bottom structure. Massive rips, pockets and rugged peaks litter the whole stretch of the Canal. Numerous spots support remarkable depth changes. In certain spots the bottom will fall 30 feet within a few yards.

There is no lack of productive fishing spots along the Cape Cod Canal. I have a list of close to 25 various rips I typically choose from when planning a trip to the “Big Ditch.” Having said that I’d be telling lies if I said that each one of those holes produces equally well. Undeniably a few of these spots produce more bass than all of the other locations.

The true secret to catching large bass from the Canal lies in ones’ ability to uncover the most productive fishing spots. The very best spots in the Canal usually support huge rips, holes, and rocky peaks which stripers flock to-similar to bees to honey. This unique booklet divulges to you the actual locations of 10 of the best Cape Cod Canal fishing spots. Just as vital, this guide clearly shows which tides produce best at every spot and why this is so.

Obtaining this information generally requires numerous years of experience in order to unravel the Canal code and find the spots that fish well and which spots do not. In many cases the difference between catching fish and not catching is measured by only a few yards.

The booklet offers:

  • Accurate locations (to the yard) of the most productive fishing holes, rips and rocky peaks
  • The exact yardage each rip, hole and rocky peak is from shore
