| 126.1 | Skoal trout | PIGGY::VARLEY | | Tue May 27 1986 16:38 | 13 |
| You're going a bit late for trout, but several years ago I always went
down in the spring to fish Peter's pond near Mashpee. there is a
boat launch and we had success with light outfits and 4lb. line
using a gold/fluorescent orange 1/8 oz. fjord spoon (no other size
or color fjord seemed to work). There are always some big breeder
rainbows put in there and the two best spots seemed to be a steep
sand bank all the way across the pond from the boat launch and the
wooded shoreline all the way at the end of the pond to your right
(as you face toward the sandbank). Corn reputedly works well too,
but you'll kill fish with it as they swallow the hook and also can't
digest corn if they strip you.
good luck!

| 126.2 | a cast iron stomach? | ASGMKA::TOMAS | Joe | Wed May 28 1986 08:37 | 8 |
| Not to be argumentative, but I find it hard to believe that corn
cannot be digested when steel fish hooks left in the gut of a fish
will dissolve in 2-3 days. I know that when I eat corn, it goes
in and then it comes out, but I haven't got the stomach of a fish!
(and no...I won't see what happens if I swallow a hook!)

| 126.8 | Cape Cod Surf Conditions | GAYNES::BPUISHYS | Bob Puishys | Wed Jul 09 1986 14:50 | 11 |
| I am planning a trip to the cape (MA) in the next few weeks.
Are the Blues and even better Stripers hitting at all?
We will be fishing most likly Race Point, from the surf.
Bait or plugs and if so what kind.
Any info would be greatly appricated.

| 126.9 | Race point surf-casting | FXENG1::FALARDEAU | | Fri Jul 11 1986 11:21 | 38 |
| I haven't fished race point in (5) years, but here goes for what
it's worth.
You'll need a surf rod that will get you out about a 100 yards to fish
for blues and stripers. Large tackle is required, I have taken blues
in 20lb range from the beach, and saw a 29lber taken. I have also
taken FLUKE from the beach on fresh-water tackle. They run small
a 2 lber would be large.
A beach buggy is a big asset to fishing the Race. To get an
oversand vechiclke permit you'll need a four-whell drive, 15ft tour
chain, air-pressuer gage that goes down to 5lbs, a shovel, bumper
jack, a board large enough to support the jack in sand, and a fire
extinquisher.
The best fishing spots are the Telophone pole rip, locate about
a mile from the race pt parking lot, Race pt, about 2-3 miles, and
Hatches harbor.
Herring Cove beach and Land's end are also good spots.
I use swimmers (blue atom), darter's (Stan Gibbs White), and poppers.
If squid are in then the reverse atom can be productive on Stripers.
Bait fishing use sandeels on the bottom or live eels.
Just before dark is the best time for blues. My best luck for Stripers
is on the on-going tide at night.
The weekend of the full-moon in August should be peak. Look for
sandeels on the sand-bars around Race pt and hatches harbor after
mid-night if the tide is out. If the sand-eels are in you can get
buckets of them here.
New-Seabury and Popanauset beaches are produing lots ot blues in
the 5lb range.
Good luck

| 126.10 | Cape Cod late season fishin? | AIMHI::FLETCHER | Bass_Buster_Fletch | Wed Oct 08 1986 12:42 | 15 |
| Hey,folks I was looking around the notes to see if I should bother
taking my rod with me to the Cape the weekend of Oct 25. I've been
invited to an action packed "men's weekend " on Nauset right across
from Orleans/Chatham. The "plan" is fishing,but we're all novices
at surf casting so maybe we just 'fess up and take the Jack Daniels.
I did some surf casting (my first real attempt) in July down there
and had a great time with fluke and Stripers (all less the 30"-now
I know why the 30" min. 8-( but it sure was fun). I keep reading
about the fish migrating in the fall and thought I'd check when
I got down there at one of the shops but if any of you have advice
I'd really appreciate it. Any fishing at all? If so,what gear?
Don't worry, we'll take the Jack Daniels anyway.
Cris (still-wishin-for-fishin).

| 126.6 | Mid Cape spots? | CHEZIT::T_THEO | In the woods | Tue Aug 29 1989 08:53 | 7 |

I know this is an old note, but I hope someone who knows some spots
around Mid-Cape for surf fishing.
Any suggestions?(keep it clean)

| I dont really know what you mean by mid cape and I'm more familliar
with the Orleans, Chattham, Wellfleet area but, here's some
suggestions. My suggestion would be to find out which way the wind
has been blowing and pick a beach with on shore winds.
Cape cod bay
sandy neck in barnstable better if you have a 4 wheel drive
Nantuckett sound
almost any of the Dennis beachs - the one with the jettys are good
- you'll have to go early or late in the day to avoid swimmers at
some of the spots
the entrance of wichmere and saquatuckett harbors can be good
(the spelling isnt even close to accurate) Again, try the jettys.
Closer to Falmouth:
Craigville beach has a good reputation (early and late in the day)
I'd call one of the shops the day before for the latest news -
Cape Cod rod and reel hyannis 508-775-7543, or
the Goose Hummock in Orleans - dont know the number -
good luck
