I'm going to be visiting Wellfleet MA on the cape in about 2 weeks for a long weekend. I've never been in the area and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, in general, about where to fish. I don't even know wether to fish in the bay or the ocean side. I'll be surf casting plugs and probably eels.It looks like a lot of open beach on google. Is it accessible? Not looking for any spot burns just general advice. Thank you for any thoughts.

Stop at the Eastham National seashore salt pond visitor center on the way and pick up a nighttime surfcasting parking permit. Get some of the beach guide brochures and you're good to go.

There are some absolutely picture perfect areas to fish up that way. Seals have certainly changed some of the fishing. I used to fish up there a lot in the fall, and as long as you don't mind a walk, it can be great. Heck sometimes depending on wind they are right there at the bottom of the stairs. Nelsons B+T is a good place to start, he has good local knowledge and supplies.

Thank you for the advice. It's hard fishing a place for the first time and only a couple days. I appreciate it.

Dates?

I'll be there from Friday Sept 19th through Monday. Thank you so much. I'll be calling. Can't wait to be striper fishing again. Only get to Maine 2 weeks a year and that was back 6 weeks ago.

Good advice on Blackbeards BT... Paul is a super nice guy, and always has a pulse on the fish in that area.

I will PM you if I am down, if you're interested, you can jump in the buggy with me. Cover some sand. Unless there is a bite going on at another beach I'll let you know.

Well, no fish for me. There was "mung weed" covering the bottom . New to me. Fished 4 or 5 spots. Nuthin. But not having been out there I was really impressed with how beautiful it was. And so remote feeling. I'd love to go back. Thank you again for the info all. I'll get them next time.
