Memorial day weekend on the outer cape..
Need some help from those of you that know. I'm hooked on this striper thing and am looking to convince the family to do some camping on Memorial day weekend on the outer cape. Am I too early for fishing from the surf or the kayak? Any advice will be very welcome. Thanks ..a newbie

Not too early. In and around Chatham & southwest to Falmouth can be good, as will other places. Fish are on the move so sometimes hard to predict where they will be. Fish will tend to be smaller as well. |

I would look for skinny water and a centrally located river. Bring your bug stuff.

Yep weather could be anywhere. PM me if you need more help. The bays and rivers should have some good fish then.

Bays and Rivers are your best bet. Most fish will be on the smaller side, but who cares.
Good luck.

Should be plenty of schoolies by then, with keepers mixed in. Ocean side, as well as the bays and rivers.
Go with the lighter tackle, 7 ft spinning should do the trick.

Sometimes you can run into some bigger fish, but most of the time schoolies. Use really small school bus mambos or crystal minnows. If I were you, I'd look into camping around the canal for bigger fish that time of year.

I was planning for the Head of the Meadow area... my family likes the beaches out that way so it keeps them happy. Would I be better on the ocean or the bay side? or would my chances be similar on both sides...by the way thank you to everyone that has offered advice. Zig
