The Cape Cod Canal is likely one of the East Coast\’s best striped bass fishing destinations. Montauk, NY may likely be the only fishing area on Earth eclipsing the Cape Cod Canal when considering popularity and productivity amongst surfcasting fishermen.
The Cape Cod Canal is one of only several spots across the striper coast where fishermen casting from shore routinely hook into 20, 30, 40 and 50 plus pound bass.
Unfortunately there is an enormous learning curve when it comes to catching big fish from the \”Big Ditch\”. Discovering the methods, tidal changes, and best spots typically requires countless years. Plenty of anglers find targeting stripers at the Canal incredibly frustrating, and give up before ever getting a chance to succeed.
Every now and then it seems as if anybody who can toss a plug or jig in excess of 20 feet can hook a sizable bass from the Canal. During the past few seasons these legendary blitzes have in most cases taken place during the spring. The fishing during these times can be fast and furious.
Yet for much of the year, any fishermen landing big striped bass with any sort of consistency are the folks casting from the correct fishing spots during the best tide. This knowledge typically takes years of experimentation in order to acquire.
These hot spots feature some form of bottom structure. Substantial rips, gulleys and rocky peaks litter the entire stretch of the Canal. Some of these spots support remarkable depth changes. In some areas the bottom will fall 30 feet inside of just a few yards.
There is absolutely no lack of productive spots along the Canal. I have a list of around twenty five individual rips, holes and rocky peaks I often pick and choose from when arranging a trip to the \”Big Ditch\”. Yet I\’d be phibbing if I said that all of those holes fishes equally well. Without a doubt several of these spots fish better than all the other locations.
The magic formula to catching a lot of stripers from the Canal is based on ones ability to identify the best fishing spots. The very best areas in the Canal generally feature enormous rips, holes, and rocky peaks that fish flock to such as bees to honey. This particular Ebook explains to you the precise locations of 10 of the best Cape Cod Canal fishing spots. Just as important, this Ebook clarifies which tides produce best at each spot and why this is so.
It typically takes many years of experience in an effort to crack the Canal code and find which spots fish well and which spots do not. In many cases the difference between catching fish and not catching can be measured in just a few yards.
The Ebook provides:
