235.0. "Cape cod fishing?" by HURLS::HURLEY () Mon Nov 23 1992 11:05

    A friend of mine is going to the Cape this weekend (Bass river,S.
    yarmouth) and looking to do some surf fishing with his new rod. Any
    info on whats out there this time and what to use????
    
    	He just got his first "keeper" this summer (40" 45# bass) and
    is looking forward to something bigger??
    
    Any info???
    
    Thanks in advance.

235.1the bigger theory of fishing...TFH::TODDTue Dec 01 1992 08:3411
    
    	Tell him if he wants to find fish much bigger than 40"/45lbs. 
    	He is not going to need a new rod, he'll need a new bazooka 
    	to get into larger fish territory.
    
    	Big Daddy Keepers of the 50-75lbs. range are a prize catch rarely
    	caught from shore.
    
    	Not if he could get to the eastern end of chappaquidick island...

235.2Cape troutCAPL::LANDRY_DTue Dec 01 1992 12:1824
	While at the Cape over this Holiday weekend my brother-in-law took
	me pond fishing.  He let me borrow some wadders which was nice of
	him.  What wasn't so nice was him not telling me untill after I'm
	waist deep in the H2O that there "may" be a leak in them.  The leak
	was around the crotch area....and yes it was a H2O leak that filled
	my left leg and boot of the wadders.  I squished/squashed my way
	to 3 ponds during the mid morning/early pm Friday with my socks
	creaping down to my toes with one side flooded.  There was an inch
	of H20 in that left boot when I took them off...Brrrrrr.

	BUT I managed to catch a small Brown Trout at pond #1 and a small
	mouth bass (or was that a yellow perch? Alternating green/yellow
	stripes) at pond #2 and zip at pond #3.  It was a nice day and fun 
	catching (and releasing) those "little" creatures on a borrowed rod.

	Fri/Sat/Sun were all nice day's.  Mild winds/partly sunny.
	The ocean was dead calm all weekend.  Didn't see many boats out 
	there looking at Monomoy Island from Harwichport area.  I wished
	I brought the "FishTeaser" to at least go for a boat ride.
	As expected my brother-in-law had his boat in his driveway waitin
	for next season (just like the "FishTeaser").....Oh well.

    RE: .0
    
    	Tell him he's already used up his Striper luck for this lifetime!
    
    Actually, the Cape is probably one of the best spots there is to look
    for jumbo Stripers from shore.  A good example of this would be the
    73 lber. caught a few years back.  Not sure if it still is, but at the
    time it was the biggest Striper ever caught from the beach.  If anyone
    has the interest to look it up I think his name is Tony Stetzko (sp??).
    It was caught in the Nov/Dec timeframe in the Pochet area of Nauset
    Beach.  The original write up of it said he had gotten SEVERAL Stripers
    over 50lbs. that week!!!  She hit a (Greg Smith will like this!) black
    FLY teaser fished in front of a live eel!  Also, the original account
    said that during the fight he saw some headlights coming down the beach
    and he actually let his line go slack so the people driving by wouldn't
    know he had a fish on!!!  Yikes!!!

235.5Pochet is _the_ place!GIAMEM::J_AMBERSONTue Dec 01 1992 15:2712
    Ah Pochet!  If your on Pochet beach and look up towards "the bridge"
    the house on the hill to the left of the bridge is my Dad's!  I caught
    my first striper off Pochet when I was 8.  My Mom was sitting on the
    beach and I went down to watch a guy fishing.  His name was MacReed and
    he had a load of stripers that he had already caught.  He cast out the 
    sea worm for me and I caught my first striper.  I then dragged the fish
    up the beach to show Mom.  Later I got to show it to my Grandfather and 
    Grandmother.  What memories.  Trivia question.  Does anyone know who 
    MacReed was???  This all took place back in 1964.  My Dad still lives
    in Pochet and we still go to the beach there and fish there!
