Great Resource!

I recently started fishing quite a bit of the cape and found this book to be an excellent resource. There are some parts where directions are somewhat vague, but it basically gets you in the area. I have also fished a little bit of Ct and NJ, and found most of the information accurate and insightful. Cross reference with other resources and you should find fish and parking.

Wasque Point / Martha`s Vineyard

Duing the day I have caught the most fish ever at thislocation. Mostly blues but some bass. 20-25 fish in an afternoon.FUNThe key to successful surfcasting here is getting the most distance possible out of your cast. I use a 12ft rod, new 20lb test, and a 40 lb mono shock leader (tied correctly) with 4oz. metal during the day; sometimes white painted metal with a white rubber tail help with the bass during the day.I have seen a distance of 20-30 feet on a cast make the difference between an instant hook-up and casting again.The cost related to getting to wasque is getting more and more expensive every year. During the Summer months fishermen are evan charged to walk on the property. If you have a four wheel drive, and plan fishing the spot with four or more people, for a couple days or more, opt for the 4-wheel oversand permit, (not cheap and more $$ every year) but worth it...

good spots for the surf

This book is a good basic book for any one who wants to know where the are places to fish from the surf, but some of the directions to get to the places are a little fuzzy.

Gold - from the meister beach striperman!

Frank Daignault has set out the great spaces for striped bass fishing without the angles that usually go with giving up a spot. This is great encyclopaedic stuff from the master who earned his cloth as a great teacher and father and author of Twenty Years on the Cape! Get that book and read it!
