During the summer of 2017, large schools of menhaden showed up here on Cape Cod. Schools of thousands of menhaden could be seen just offshore many of Cape Cod's beaches.
On this particular day I was working on my new house, which my wife and I had just purchased and were renovating. A call from a friend came in during the early afternoon, informing me that huge striped bass were feeding on menhaden off one of the Cape's beaches.
I hustled to ready my kayak and drove as quickly (and safely!) as I could to where my friend had reported the action. Instantly I saw the menhaden schools and could see they were being attacked by not just huge striped bass, but huge bluefish and gigantic seals as well.
I had only been fly fishing for a few months, so my casting technique was pretty rough!
I hooked 3 monster striped bass, with two of the fish bending the hooks on my fly and escaping. Fortunately one of the largest of the trip, a beautiful 46 inch striper, did not come unbuttoned and I was able to successful land, revive and release her.
Plus at the 31 minute mark in the video I receive a phone call from my loving wife Lauren. Watch until the end and LMK if you can relate!!! LOL
Back in 2017 I published a much shorter version of this video which you can access here ( • Fly Fishing Cape Cod f... ). Today I thought it'd be cool to share the full 34 minute video from the trip. What an experience it was!
I hope you enjoy ✌🏻
