Springtime Cape Cod Freshwater Fishing Report

We start today's show with a call to MFCC founder Ryan Collins has been having luck freshwater fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass, at the ponds of Outer Cape Cod. Ryan has been fishing the ponds both on foot and in his kayak. Baker JLD jerk baits have been working exceptionally well. We also received a full MFCC news update from Ryan, with information about who won the latest member-only fishing trip and charter giveaways. Ryan goes on to share a saltwater fishing forecast for squid, stripers, tautog, and more. Next up is store owner Phil Howarth of the Goose Hummock Shops in Orleans. The store has been busy according to Phil, with people out freshwater fishing and getting ready for the arrival of striped bass. Phil reports that stripers are being caught on Cape, but they are most likely holdovers. Freshwater fishing has also been very popular recently, especially among families. The Goose is now hiring for part-time and full-time employees for the upcoming season. Please phone the store if you are interested in applying at (508) 255-0455 or just swing by the shop. Third in today's lineup is Bruno Demir - My Fishing Cape Cod member and owner of Cape & Islands Mitsubishi. Last week Bruno gave squid fishing a try but didn't have any luck. He thinks squid will start being caught this week (or next week at the absolute latest). Bruno recommends using the smaller squid jigs in green and pink. According to what Bruno's hearing, haddock are being caught at Stellwagen and some tautog have been caught in Buzzard's Bay. Bruno recommends the outgoing tide for tog fishing. Schoolies with sea lice are being caught in Narragansett, so Bruno thinks they'll show along the southside of the Cape by the first week of May.
