An Overture On Striper Fishing Cape Cod

By Joseph West


The outdoor is certainly a great place to get away from the mentally taxing bustle of everyday life. For many, the thought of going outdoors sparks talk of surfing and swimming. However, there are other equally exciting activities such as fishing. One way you may spend free time is striper fishing Cape Cod.

The best time to fish is during warm weather. You could try your luck during other seasons nonetheless. Stripers are some of the most favored species to catch among enthusiasts. Their unpredictability and elusiveness makes catching them fun and adrenaline enhancing.

As water temperatures soar at the onset of summer, stripers begin their migratory journey. This aspect is no secret as fishermen are always on standby to start catching once the season commences. With plenty of fish, your catch should be easy to come by.

The factor that enthralls most fishermen the most is that stripers are fairly easy to catch when migrating. This is due to their unusually aggressive feeding habits during such times. Ensure you keep close watch for birds as you angle. They feed on migrating fish regularly, which needless to say may make your work harder.

It is important to know the right way to fish if you are to catch anything. For starters, you should know that fish are naturally attracted to bright things. This is because brightness helps them see what they are about to eat. For this reason, you might want to use bright lures if you are in murky water.

Most fishermen like catching at night. In daytime, stripers are largely inactive and can be found down at the waterbed. When darkness prevails, however, they aggressively rise up to feed. Their aggression makes them easily baited.

While stripers are known to be generally unpredictable, Cape Cod is laden with spots that any fisherman would dream of. For example, the Elizabeth Islands are renown for harboring big fish season long. This is thanks to their big boulders and strong currents that serve as fish reservoirs.

Once fishing season commences and stripers start to show, word gets around fast. In no time, you are bound to notice rods hooked on parked trucks and trailers. Many outdoor enthusiasts travel to the area each year at the end of April and all through the spring and summer.

It is important to park all your essentials when making travel preparations. Do not forget to pack your rod in a safe manner to prevent breakage. It should have a strong handle and hook so as to work in strong currents. Travelers who use RVs always enjoy their experiences more than others. Having an RV will ensure you spend the night right by the waterside.

Head boats are essential for those looking to go out in winter. They are well equipped to help riders avoid hypothermia. Mostly operated by tour companies, they come with heated interiors. If luck is on your side, you should catch one or two stripers during winter.
