"Anglers competing in the annual striper fishing derby at the Cape Cod Canal were faced with clouds and a cool breeze Wednesday morning, along with a shortage of herring and an east-running tide (west is best), but that didn't stop them. The rocks were lined with fishermen, hoping to hook into one of the big striped bass that migrate into the canal this time of year.
The stripers enter the canal during the annual spring herring run in May and gorge on these forage fish. Herring is to stripers what lobster is to humans.
The Cape Canal Region Chamber of Commerce schedules its annual, eight-day, striped-bass tournament, sponsored in part by The Standard-Times, to coincide with the annual run of stripers and herring (also called alewives), affording anglers the best opportunity to land lots of big fish and win cash and prizes. This week marks the 12th annual tournament, which began Saturday and will end at 6 p.m. Sunday, with an award ceremony at 10 a.m. Monday at Bourne Scenic Park. "
