1999 - Here is our quarry. Pictured is a 38" bass taken in Cape Cod bay in July 1999. Fish was quickly released. A beautiful fish which is trouble again. There are not enough large fish around, and this will surely affect future generation since only the older fish will breed. We must push catch and release and stop being greedy and keeping so many fish. Recreational fisherman can not put all the blame on the commercial fisherman when many keep as many fish as they can. Regulatory bodies must put more stringent laws in affect with enforcement or we will lose this magnificent fishery. Please do your part and support organizations such as the SF, RFA , STRIPERSFOREVER, and CCA which are fighting to save our fishing resources and the environment.
12/07/06 - My comments above turned out to be very prophetic. The striper fishing on the beach this year on Cape Cod was poor. Every year since 2000 things have been all down hill. Do your part to try to reverse this trend or you better take up golf.
12/17/07 - I am in the process of revising this website to clean up some of the clutter I have added through the years. I hope you find the changes to be improvements. I am unhappy to report the striper situation from my standpoint is still on the decline. My personal striper count for this year dropped to 765 from 1400+ in 2006. I fish mostly from the beaches and the shore of the bays on outer Cape Cod. The number of big fish has declined drastically. Most other fishermen I have talked to have similar results. Do what you can to help rectify this bad situation. Get involved!
8/21/08 - My worst year ever surf fishing on Cape Cod. I have yet to take a striper from Nauset Beach this year. Fishing has been so bad I have not even gone surf fishing for almost 2 months. I used to fish every day.
