Just when you thought it was already too expensive to live on ‘old Cape Cod, along comes Jim F’ng Gordon.
If this was a hundred years ago, this lowlife would have ridden into town on a covered wagon and set up shop selling snake oil. If and when Cape Wind is built and goes [...]

Ooh boy, here it comes, the closest hurricane to Cape Cod since Bob is a day and a half away. The NWS still can’t say exactly where Earl will go or exactly when, but it looks as if he will come close enough to really shake things up here on Cape Cod, especially on [...]

Which always stands to make you take pause when you feel that colder air for the first time in a long time, you get that sort of icky feeling in your stomach, you are forced to remember that summer is going away.
This cooler weather is probably going to turn the fishing on a bit if [...]

How’s your summer going? Mine had been going fairly well despite the low fluke prices and awful hot weather, then it became August. Seems as if the fluke have gotten lock jaw or worse yet have already began to leave?
The bass fishing is still dismal and doesn’t seem to have any improvement in [...]

When Mitt Romney was our governor, I wrote him a letter. It wasn’t a nice letter. It was a letter expressing my utter and total disaproval of the crfeation of a cod conservation zone and the closure of a productive fishing area, which was as I still assert, closed to quell criticism from [...]

In their infinite wisdom, our DMF has yet again let the potters blow our quota and again we have no summer fishery. Why on earth do the (DMF) think they are best serving us by letting 30 or so [...]

Thursday AM is the start of the directed season for summer flounder.
I tried to get the hook limit bumped up to 300 # (back up that is…) for this year, but the DMF told me I was too late getting my petition to them to get it in place this year. DMF says that [...]

Are why I don’t want to fish for blues anymore. But plenty of guys still do, in fact it seems as if more than ever are and at around a buck a pound, I can see why. Used to be that 50 cents was a great price for blues on the spring run, [...]

Ok, it wasn’t the weather. It was beautiful last week, in fact. I got a little hopeful back around April 23′d, when I went down to the docks in Hyannis and there were a couple of big out of town boats there, 1 from Montauk and another from Pt Jude, I was hoping [...]
