1192.0. "Fishing spots P-Town Cape Cod?????" by WILKIE::CASEY () Tue Jul 11 1989 17:10

    I am going on vacation next week in the P-Town area of Cape Cod and
    would like to find some good fishing spots. I am travaling via my
    boat (27' sportfisher) so any and all kinds of fishing would be
    helpful: blues, stripers, Blue & yellow find Tuna sharks etc. 
    any suggestions will help for good vacation.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

	Yellowfin tuna generally do not come that far north. If you are really interested in catching them, you'll have to fill up and head south of the cape. I think it would be a long haul. Bluefin tuna are supposedly showing up in Cape Cod Bay, and they are definitely being caught on the open ocean. Trolling is probably best at this point. Surprisingly, quite a number of the tuna being caught are in the 200-400 lb range. Sharks will probably still be scarce this far north. Your best bet would be to go south or southeast and find some warm water. Chumming will be the ticket here. The blues and stripers will prbably be running around the tip at P-town. I don't know of any specific spots though. There's also good fluke and flounder fishing there. Good luck. We expect a full report on your return! The Doctah

	Try 1/2 mile off the Pamet river - known locally as "the path" Blues are usually thick around there. Look for the charter boats out of Rock Harbour. I dont know the rips off Race point very well but they seem to hold a lot of fish - whales too. At dusk and dawn the edges of Billingsgate shoal can produce bass. Be careful, the water is very shallow. The cut at the tip of Jerremy point is another good place - shallow as well.
