Massachusetts - Cape Cod
Right now the best striper fishing on earth is off Cape Cod. North-migrating fish are hitting the beaches, bays, and offshore rips, chowing down on squid, sand eels, herring, and more. Surf casters do best with lures at dawn and dusk high tides; a 2-ounce Kastmaster tin is basic. Boat fishermen working shoals and holes, particularly off the Cape's south side or in Cape Cod Bay, can score all day. Goose Hummock, 508-255-0455; goose.com
Guide's Tips
Species: Stripers
Guide: Goose Hummock; goose.com; 508-255-2620
Rig Specifics: 7-foot baitcasting rod with 17- to 20-pound braided test. Use squid, clams, or seaworms on a single circle hook, weighted with a pyramid sinker.
Quick Tip: Fish from 6 to 8 a.m. and at dusk. In July, fish after dark for best results.
Where to Fish: By June, stripers are hitting everywhere. Stop at a local tackle shop to find out the hottest spot of the moment.
