34.0. "Cape Cod Fish Finder" by HPSRAD::LABRECQUE () Wed Aug 07 1991 14:20

    hello 
    
    
    I am going fishing down on the cape this weekend. I was wondering if
    anyone can give me a report on what and where the fish, (if any) are.
    The 2 options I think I have are to either go fishing off Monomoy(sp)
    Island for Fluke or go on the inside of the cape around Welfleet
    harbor for blues or possibly strippers. I did hear that the blue 
    fishing was not that great on the outer cape, but I have no information
    on Cape Cod Bay.
    
    
    
    Thanks in advance for the help

34.1The canal has some fish.GNPIKE::NICOLAZZOFree the beaches!Wed Aug 07 1991 15:2011
    re: .0
    
    	I was down there last weekend fishing the east end of the canal
    	(probably out of your way if your thinking about Monomoy and
    	Wellfleet) - there were lots of school stripers around early in
     	the morning and I heard reports of a few bluefish being taken.
    
    	I don't know much about the mid/outer cape though.

34.2Eastham reportLEVERS::SWEETWed Aug 07 1991 23:497
    I was down in Eastham last week. I caught 2-4 blues from the
    bay side beaches. They periodically blitz the shore in late afternoon
    especially on the outgoing tide. Pamet river mouth in truro
    was also supposed to be good for these. Bass are mostly on
    the ocean side with eels at night.

34.3thanks for reply'sHPSRAD::LABRECQUEFri Aug 09 1991 14:276
    thanks for the reports. I am going to try to find some blues somewhere
    between Barnstable Harbor and Welfleet Harbor. Hopefully I'll run into
    at least a couple.

34.4Race Point & BayJUPITR::TODDFri Aug 30 1991 15:2916
    
    	Race Point, served up 16 blue, on the slack of the out going
    	AM tide just to the left of the life guard stand.  There's a
    	sand bar out about 250 yds the funnels the baitfish, thus the
    	Blues in within casting range.
    
    	They were between 8-13lbs, and around the end of July...
    
    	Todays report was HOT fishing on the bayside, south Truro and
    	Wellfleet area.  Big blues averaging around 15lbs...
    
    	Sounds like some minor adjustments to be made in this labor-day
    	weekend plans!
    
    
    		
34.5In serach of...CUPMK::T_THEOIt's OK, I'm with the bandFri Aug 30 1991 15:478
    
    I'm heading for the Cape (Hyannis) in about an hour...  Have a charter
    lined up for Wednesday on south side, but will be hitting every spot
    where there's even the most remote chance of hooking up from shore.
    
    Wish me luck!

34.6It may be a small world, but the ocean seems bigUSCTR1::SPERRYWed Aug 05 1992 12:0317
    Any tips on;
    
        o  where to fish for cod, haddock, pollock this time of year? 
           anyplace accessible within 20 - 30 miles from shore.  
           ( I trailer from NH to RI )
    
        o  fishing off of Provincetown.  I haven't been there but the 
           contour lines from the charts look pretty interesting.  What
           do you find where?
    
        o  books that talk about the fishing seasons and sites off the
           Massachusetts coast
    
    
    The kids and I are getting into fishing this year and I think that
    actually catching some fish might make the experience even better!

The Fisherman magazine/weekly has tons of books advertised for the N.E.
area.

    I agree with .-1.  If you are getting started it's $23 well spent.
    I just happened to have one in my office so I looked up their phone
    number:

    good luck,
