Striped Bass
Chasing Striped Bass around Yarmouth Port offers a classic Cape Cod experience. The key here is understanding the seasonal movement of baitfish in and out of the local estuaries and along the beaches. Spring sees the stripers actively feeding as they move north, while the fall 'run' is legendary as they fatten up before heading south. Focus your efforts around the mouths of the Bass River and the Parker's River, paying close attention to tidal flows. Live eels or chunk mackerel are always a good bet, but don't overlook artificials like swimming plugs and soft plastics that mimic sand eels. A local tip: early morning or late evening fishing around the flats during high tide can be incredibly productive. Be mindful of strong currents and shifting sands, especially when wading. The striped bass in this area are known for their fight, so be prepared for a good battle!
