The Fish Cometh
By: Capt. Hap Farrell
It is that time of the season. The real first sign that life is coming back to the world of sport fishing on Cape Cod. First there are some reports that the early anglers have found a few small stripers in the estuaries of the south shore of Cape Cod. These are the secret spots that these anglers have and start to check this time of the year. They claim there are fish there. The second sign is finding the gulls working Paine's Creek that ends up at the Brewster Herring Run. These gulls are working on the first real heavy run of Herring making their way up to the run.
The next area on the lower Cape that will hold these small early run stripers will be the small river leading to Meeting House Pond and the Narrows between the mainland and Pochet Island in Pleasant Bay. This area is located at the end of Barley Neck Rd. and then walk to the left. There is now word on anyone checking these areas, it is a tiny bit early. We are going to get a number of sunny days next week (14th to 18th of April) so this may warm up the water enough to bring these fish in.
Swing by the Goose Hummock (508-255-0455) and check in before fishing these areas. Either Fran or Garret may have already checked them and other places and will know what is going on. Or,you can be the first and check them yourself and then go tell them. One thing is going to happen, the fish will arrive.
