INSHORE – There are still some schoolie Stripers (Bass, Striped) hanging around into this week. Anglers are searching the East end of the canal and the rivers to find them using Mackerel and fine bait. We hope the cold front won’t push them out quite yet. To the West we are seeing a decent Tautog bite. There are some keepers in the deeper water if you put some time in fishing the rock piles. Search roughly 40 ft in Buzzard’s bay to find them. The morning bite for both Stripers and Tautog is better than the afternoon but if they are there, they will generally bite all day.

OFFSHORE – Anglers are still heading out for Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) this week. They have to brave the weather to find them but when there is a break in the weather the bite is decent.

The morning bite has been producing well in terms of great numbers and sizes up to 26 lbs. You have to put some time in to wean through the smaller fish. Tautog are still really good in Buzzard’s Bay and Wing’s Neck area. There is a solid, active bite. Some anglers are focusing on Freshwater into this week. There is a nice variety of fish turning up and the ponds are well stocked. The Saltwater bite should pick up and we expect to see another push of fish before the season is over.

The Tautog bite is fantastic this week all around Buzzard’s bay. They are up to 6 lb right from shore. Anglers are using Green Crabs to hook them. There is no magic way to rig the crabs. Upside down, sideways, they all work. Local freshwater ponds have recently been stocked with Trout so it is a great alternative if you are looking to mix it up with some freshwater.

INSHORE – The canal has been quite good over the last few weeks. It looks to be continuing this week. Breaking tides have been frequent and the fishing is good, especially in the morning. The Striped Bass (Bass, Striped) are on the fall migration. There were nice 30-39lb fish last week. There hasn’t been any show up that big as of yet this week. There are still Albies (Bonito, Little Tunny) that arrived even though they were late this year. They are coming into the canal off and on but remain better out in Buzzards bay. Sea Bass and Fluke are closed now but Scup fishing is still open. Anglers are just starting to see Tautog in Buzzard’s Bay. The water temperatures are pretty mild however the water is cooling off so anglers are stocking up on Green Crabs for Tautog in the deep waters. Search around rock piles to find them. Stripers are being caught on jigs in deep water during the day. Chunk Pogies or Mackerel to get them. Overnight is producing fish on live Eels. Mornings are best using Topwaters or jigs. During the day in faster currents anglers are jigging deep running plastic Eels. Bucktails are also productive. Search deep during the day. Check out the Redtop Sporting Goods Website or Facebook for great specials happening this weekend!
OFFSHORE – Stellwagen seems to be hit or miss for Bluefin (Tuna, Bluefin) for some of the anglers we talked to. There are some good sized fish coming out of the area however it slows down for days at a time. There hasn’t been a whole lot of fish over 300 lbs. They are a bit smaller lately and with the recent wind we haven’t seen anyone go towards the Canyons. PRO ANGLER APP USERS – Tap a fish below the report for more angling tips and tricks!

Stripers (Bass, Striped) have been very good. Some are over 50 bs. You can see them breaking and feeding at sunrise. They are definitely part of the migration running the West and East end of the canal. They seem to be everywhere. The length of the daylight has triggered the migration so they are moving. The Stripers are still biting to the North as well. Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] are also still biting this week. Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) are closed. Anglers are just beginning to look for Tautog using Green Crabs in the deeper areas of Buzzards Bay. We see some nice weather ahead for the week so far and the fishing should continue to do well.

There are still plenty of Sea Bass in the bay. Fluke are marginal. If you hit a good hole they are okay however if you head to the islands you may have to put some time in. The best quality fish are in 40-60 ft using Jelly B2 Squids with Squid on it.
OFFSHORE – The Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) are biting but it’s slow. We hope to see more as the season heats up. The Shark (Shark, Blue) have been a good target for anglers. The numbers are great.

Alms House Fishing Report
INSHORE – There were reports of some decent Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] fishing on the Mashnee Flats where the small blues were also raising hell with the fine bait that is attracting fish to that location. The word from Paul at Maco’s Bait and Tackle was that there had been an influx of 16-inch-and-better Fluke on the flats which at one time was a fluke hot area. Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) catches were in decline in close but along the west Falmouth shore and out around Cleveland’s Ledge there were still some knuckleheads being taken. He also heard of the mid 40-pound Bass (Bass, Striped) taken up around Plymouth on a live Mackerel.

Bass (Bass, Striped) are a bit hit or miss. In Cape Cod Bay the bite is still very good on live Mackerel. Most anglers are in 20 ft or so out by Cleveland ledge. Chunked Squid on a bucktail jig has been the most productive.

INSHORE – The fishing in the bays is hot this week. Stripers (Bass, Striped) are in both Buzzards and Cape Cod bay. If you find the Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic) you’ll find the fish. Most of the best fish are found from the boats. There are some in the canal but you’ll have to put some time in. Live lining Mackerel has been the best bet to hook them. Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] have also just begun to heat up and we expect to see sizes and numbers increase in the next few weeks.

We also still have a strong Tautog bite on Green Crab. Rocky areas such as the train bridges and the canal are holding great sizes. Scup is also biting this week. Bluefish are starting on the South Cape Beaches. Anglers from shore are doing really well while the shore fishermen are having to put a bit more time in.

INSHORE – Blackfish (Tautog) are still swimming this week and there’s some mackerel overtop. They are hitting Green Crabs so far and producing very well in the canals. There are also some Pollock swimming on the East end by the jetties. They are hitting silver jigs and doing well also. There is not a whole lot going on at this time of year and this is very typical for the area. Anglers heading out this weekend can always check out our Tips feature which provides additional information and suggestions to help improve the catch.

INSHORE – Most inshore anglers have switched to the freshwater ponds at this point. The Ponds are producing Largemouth Bass and some Rainbow and Brown Trout. There is still smaller sized Mackerel swimming the East end of the the saltwater areas however they are quite small. Anglers taking whitebait with them should have an increased chance of reeling one in.
OFFSHORE – There are still some great sizes of Tuna, Bluefin swimming the Southwest corner this week. They are coming up in great sizes however are not easy to find at this point. They are hitting Mackerel which can still be found in the inshore. Live Lining has been the best technique so far. The sizes will get bigger with the cold weather however they are expected to complete their move out of the area in the next few weeks.

OFFSHORE – Tuna, Bluefin a pretty much the only thing going on right now. Numbers of Tuna have dropped off a little but the bigger fish have made their way into the Stellwagen area with the southwest corner producing some great fish. There’s been lots of Mackerel out there for bait last week and anglers should continue to see them this week. Stop into Redtop Sporting Goods as they have their Christmas specials on. Sebile Magic Swimmers are only $9.99 and lots of other gear at 15% off.

INSHORE – There is not a whole lot of action inshore this week. Tog (Tautog) are still biting Green Crabs however anglers will have to put in some time to find them. Alternatively other species of crabs will work but the Greenies seem to be most productive. There are very few Stripers (Bass, Striped) left as they are thinning out at this point. SP Minnow and soft plastics are still working well.
OFFSHORE – Tuna, Bluefin continue to to bite this week. They are loving Live Mackerel which can be found inshore and off. Anglers have been live lining for them to catch Tuna. A lot of fishermen have moved to the freshwater at this point.

INSHORE – There has not been a lot of action happening inshore at this time. The Tautog bite continues to do consistently well this week and anglers are catching tons per trip. Green Crabs are still the most effective bait around structures and shallow water. There are still reports of Stripers (Bass, Striped) in the canals however the bite has become a little more spotty at this point. SP Minnows and soft plastics are still working well here.
OFFSHORE – The SouthWest corner of the bank out through Chatham has produced a very good Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) bite with some big fish being caught. Anglers are live-lining Mackerel for them and finding it very effective. There are plenty of Mackerel for bait running in the deep water.

INSHORE – The Tautog bite is continuing to be consistent and our sources have had great reports of catching up to 100 per trip on multi-angler boats. They are hitting live Green Crab, or any kind of Crab for that matter. Anglers can find them around any sort of structures. The canals still have Bass, Striped swimming as not all of them have moved out from here. There have been good and bad days depending on the water levels, although there are still keepers being caught. Anglers are finding the bass prefer artificials like lures and plugs. At night the bait of choice is an SP Minnow or soft plastic with a small weighted head. Alternatively a whitish pink pencil popper is great for the morning. Vudu Shrimp are also working well as they match the running bait.
OFFSHORE – The Bluefin (Tuna, Bluefin) bite has remained steady with a good amount of substantial sizes caught lately. They have seemed to slow down in the past few days however are still out that and have not moved out at this point. They have been chasing Mackerel all over the place so anglers are stocking up before they head out.
BAIT REPORT – There are tons of Shrimp running in the canal and bass are chasing them. OF NOTE – Redtop Sporting Goods has a huge Black Friday sale coming up with select lures marked down to just $9.99. Check out these and more great deals in store!!

INSHORE – Canal fishing is still in pretty good shape. Anglers are using anything from Pencil poppers, savage swimmers, SP Minnows, bombers and swim shads to catch up to 25 lb Stripers (Bass, Striped). Tautog is still biting as well and they are taking Green Crabs.
OFFSHORE – There have been a few reports of some Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin & Tuna, Yellowfin) still hanging out offshore however anglers are having to head off quite a bit further. The live run of Mackerel has been a good opportunity for Anglers to use as live bait. The season is beginning to wind down and less reports are coming in from the offshore.

Alms House Fishing Report
OFFSHORE – Not much has been heard from anglers this week. There are still some Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin & Tuna, Yellowfin) but without specifics on location or size. Most people are staying inside and avoiding the hard sea conditions. If you do make your way out the expectation is that the Southwest corner will have the best bite, however not a lot of people are venturing out to the Canyons at this time.
INSHORE – Everything is slowing down at this point. There are still some Tautog in good sizes being reported. Anglers are using Crabs, with Green being the most popular. The best technique is to first anchor and toss the crab’s limbs overboard as chum. Then hook your crab (half or whole) to use as bait. You will want to look around the rock piles and boulders as all the Tautog will be hiding and looking for something to eat. They are expected to migrate to warmer water in the next few weeks. Anglers are still waiting for bigger fish to push down and have been catching smaller fish on plugs and swimmers.
BAIT REPORT – There are lots of juvenile Pogies and Mackerel running right now. If you head out with a Sibiki rig you will be likely to catch them on the jig. The Sand Eels have made their way out and are gone for the most part due to temperatures.
OF NOTE – Keep an eye out for Redtop Sporting Goods’ HUGE Black Friday Sale with select lures reg. $40.99 down to $9.99. You won’t want to miss that.

There is no shortage of schools with fish 15-30 inches. There are some bigger fish to be caught but you’ll have to put in a little more work to get them. There are fish around the surf and on the south shore so hopefully that’s a sign of bigger fish in the coming weeks. The False Albacore are quieting down and more likely moving South. Striped Bass are numbers aren’t too bad. Pencil Poppers 5-6 inches long and roughly 2 oz. Minnows, Swim Shads and 7 inch Shads are working well for Stripers. Anglers are mostly fishing tight inshore however some boaters have made their way into the sound to find Flounder taking live bait while bottom fishing.
BAIT REPORT – There’s really only tiny baits in the canal right now. It’s more worth your time to pick up bait from the shops.

Alms House Fishing Report
OFFSHORE – The Canal is a little slow but the tide is due on Monday. This week is a little slow, things will pick up next week. A lot of False Albacore on the edges of the Canal. Kastmaster and Swedish Pimples are working well out on the Canal. A lot of Striped Bass on the West end, and East end, but very few big fish in the middle. Striped Bass anglers are using Pencil Poppers and Savage Sandeels right now.
