Shore Fishing for Winter Time Trout on Cape Cod

In New England in early January, it can be challenging to find open water or fish willing to bite. Luckily for anglers, the state of Massachusetts does a great job stocking Cape Cod’s many kettle ponds with trout from nearby hatcheries. In this video, OTW Assistant Editor Matt Haeffner is joined by his friend Jack Renfrew for a morning of bait & wait trout fishing on the Outer Cape. Matt and Jack rig up live shiners and nightcrawlers, and even cast around some tried-and-true trout lures for stocked rainbow and brown trout.

Nothing more enjoyable in life than fishing those CC kettles. Can't wait to get the kayak over to the Nickerson area or ponds close by. I notice that one, lol. Tight lines!!!

Another great video guys! You showcase what us Southeastern Mass guys do through the winter now that we don't get the ice anymore. Trout fishing is always a great winter outing!
