Rare cape trip for me!

Seeing as my mother in law just baught a new house on the cape and my wife, has been there all week, I figured I would go last night and give well wishes and then head out fishing, With the Nor-east blow I figured it would be not at my regular jaunts so why not try the cape? Well, With my wife in tow last night we ended up at a spot that just had me drooling when I saw it, most of the guys were leaving at sunset saying there were no fish and not to waste my time, the place emtied out! I had this awsome water all to myself? On the 4th cast I had a bass about 18lbs---17 fish later and I would say those guys were wrong I had non stop action from 9 till 1:30am with bass from 5lbs up to 20lbs most fish were small but 6 of the 17 were high teens, I had countless other hits..Countless and no bluefish..All on eels, to bad the wife got tierd are I would still bee there Heading back there with Steve on Sunday night!! So for the guys who say the cape is "slow" I am having trouble understanding that? There were so many fish in this place last night it was like they had just stocked it!! From what I saw and this is only my opinion, these guys leave way to early, I mean sunset? its not even dark yet?? And of course I was only using eels, I was on the lee side of the cape so the water was flat and wind over back. It was fun to catcxh some bass at the cape , I have not cought anythere in about 7 years.....

Where on the Cape were you #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&? I fish the backside and trust me...it is slow! I was there on Tuesday night....fishing one of the most productive beaches and all I got was a 32 incher on a blurple danny....threw some slimeys but no takers. Good for you though but I am betting you were over in Chatham, Dennis, Falmouth area?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

most likely those were sandeel bait fishermen, lots of daytime fishermen on the cape on vacations and whatever.

timing is everything and I'd rather be lucky than good.

Maybe if you fished the cape in june you would have seen the difference between then and now(started about 2 weeks ago all kinds of fish showed everywhere and it wasn't just a daylight thing anymore)

I had a couple similar nights last weekend.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

No way, I would take nights anyday and certainly that would add heavy to my "luck" factor. But then again I am also "good"
