The fall run on Cape Cod is a bucket-list fishery

The outer Cape is chock full of fish, white-sand beaches and rips that funnel bait, and every fall the speedsters show up. Casting into a blitz of false albacore or bonito, going tight, then watching line disappear into your backing is some of the best inshore fly and light-tackle fishing there is.

With runs over 40 mph, albies will test your gear and your nerve. We also fish striped bass in the rips off Chatham, Falmouth and the Vineyard, and when conditions line up we'll run offshore for bluefin, yellowfin and mahi.
