The Cape Cod Canal is among the East Coast’s top striped bass fishing hotspots. Montauk, NY may just be the one fishing spot on Earth eclipsing the Cape Cod Canal in terms of productivity and popularity amongst shore bound anglers.
The Canal is one of only several spots across the striper coast where anglers casting from shore routinely tie into 20, 30, 40 and 50 plus pound striped bass.
Unfortunately there is an enormous learning curve in terms of pulling big stripers out of the Canal. Discovering the methods, tidal changes, and best spots often requires many years. Many anglers find targeting stripers at the Canal particularly frustrating, and quit before ever creating a chance to succeed.
From time to time it seems as if anybody who can cast in excess of 20 feet can hook a large fish at the Canal. In recent years these legendary blitzes have generally taken place throughout the spring. The striper fishing throughout these times can be fast and furious.
