Cape Cod Canal Striper Fishing: Opening Day 2024

Fishing the Cape Cod Canal with my buddy Joe. We went out this particular morning with a solid game plan to fish the Herring Run area. Herring were packed into the herring run entrance and we thought for sure there would be striped bass chasing them... Spoiler alert: The bass were there and they were feeding!
