Striped Bass

Striped Bass Action Holding Strong Along the Cape

Striped bass fishing around Cape Cod continues to produce steady action through the week of July 4th. Anglers have been enjoying consistent hookups with fish holding inshore and around structure, especially during early morning and late evening tides. Live bait and topwater plugs have both been productive, with many fish falling in the 28–36 inch range.

The warm summer pattern has settled in, keeping the bite strong as schools of bass stay active in cooler, oxygen-rich waters. Working drop-offs, rips, and sandbars has paid off, particularly for those targeting moving water with light tackle setups. Weather conditions this week have been favorable, creating solid opportunities for both new and seasoned anglers to get on fish.

Captain reports a few open slots this week—perfect timing if you're looking to get on the water while the bass bite is still firing. Don’t miss your chance to experience Cape Cod fishing at its mid-summer best!
