Cape Cod Canal Striper Fishing: CRAZY Striper Blitz

I had a good feeling when I set out pre-dawn for a full day of fishing at the Cape Cod Canal on September 28, 2023. I opted for a "late" 4:30am arrival at the Canal because I planned to fish until sunset. As I was walking out on the East End, Cape side jetty I could hear tail slapping and fish breaking on the beach side of the jetty... That was a sign - from my first cast until sunset it was a wild adventure. The morning was the focus of last week's video, "Cape Cod Canal Striper Fishing: Seal Steal & Chain Catch!" If you haven't sent atone, check it out, it was WILD!
In this video you'll see some of the most intense, up close striped bass blitzing you've ever seen, literally at my feet!

    I have my rod holders mounted on the back of the rear basket. With 11’ rods you do have to watch out for overhanging branches - there are a few places along the Canal on either side where you can have issues but the bridges are plenty high…
