Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: These are the rock stars of the Northeast coast, and for good reason. Stripers can grow to over 50 pounds, and they put up a fight that'll have your arms aching (in the best way possible). They start showing up in May and stick around through October. The thrill of watching a big striper smash a topwater lure is something you've got to experience to believe. Plus, if you're into catch-and-cook, stripers make for some mighty fine eating.

Bluefish: Don't let anyone tell you blues are just bycatch – these toothy critters are a blast to catch. They hit hard and run fast, often putting on acrobatic displays as they try to shake the hook. Bluefish typically show up in Cape Cod waters by June and hang around until fall. They travel in schools, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Just watch your fingers when you're unhooking them – those teeth aren't for show!

Learn more about the species

Bluefish

Bluefish are the bulldogs of Cape Cod waters – aggressive, toothy, and always ready for a fight. These voracious predators typically run 3-10 pounds, but can reach up to 20. You'll spot them churning up the surface in what we call a "bluefish blitz," attacking schools of baitfish with reckless abandon. Blues arrive in mid-June and stick around until October, preferring warmer waters. They're not picky eaters, which makes them fun to catch on a variety of lures and baits. Anglers love blues for their hard strikes and relentless energy on the line. For the freshest-tasting fillets, bleed and ice your catch immediately. Local tip: When blues are in a feeding frenzy, try using noisy topwater lures – the commotion often triggers their aggressive instincts, leading to explosive strikes.

Striped Bass

Stripers are the rock stars of Cape Cod fishing. These powerful swimmers can reach 40 pounds, with distinctive dark stripes running along their sides. You'll find them cruising near structures like sandbars and drop-offs, often within casting distance of shore. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as bass follow bait migrations. Anglers love stripers for their hard-fighting spirit and excellent table fare. To boost your chances, try live bait like herring or mackerel, especially at dawn or dusk when stripers feed actively near the surface. One local trick: Look for diving birds – they often signal a striper feeding frenzy below. Remember, these fish can be picky eaters, so matching your bait to what's naturally around improves your odds of hooking into a trophy catch.
