Cape Cod bass

[nboucher]

I will be staying in Eastham on Cape Cod next week, and will probably bring a kayak. Anyone recommend good bass fishing on that part of the Cape? I see most of the ponds are primarily trout fisheries.

Thanks,

Norman

check out lake wequaquet in barnstable, i hear there's some nice bass in there. never fished it but a couple guys on here have and have pulled out some nice smallies in deeper water. i think it's a pretty big lake, too, might not be suitable for a kayak on a winday day. also might be a little more of a drive than you want to make from eastham.

check out that link for a list of lakes and ponds on the cape, i'm sure you can find a few close by that have some bass in em. good luck! 8-)

I dont know about the fishing, but you can stop by the Cape Cod Aviary and say "hey" to my cousin.  LOL

He is the head veterinarian up there.

Good luck in your quest, Norman!!!

Hey, Speed, birds are another passion. So maybe I will stop by. Where is it, and is it open to the public?

Hmm...Let me see if I can find you some info.

I am not quite sure, to be honest with you  LOL

I fished mashpee-wakeby pond a few weeks ago, that's where I got sick tho so be careful,.....I caught the "swimbait" bug,lol

Long pond is an underground aquafier that runs the length of the cape, surfacing in multiple towns.  I have fished it in 4 different towns and always did very well.  I especially like the section in S Yarmouth, off turtle  cove rd.  Would make a nice place to yak.

I also plan to hit the Cape next week and visit my sister, perhaps I can get us out on a friends bass boat if you're interested, but if I know you, it's all about rowing and paddling with your family.

Let me know though, i fyou're interested.

Either way, you guys have a blast!!!

(A great family right there folks, Norm's daughter is a peach and his wife SAVED THE DAY on the BR roadtrip by shooting us to Logan airport on a phone calls notice, great people.)

Let me know if you want to hook up bud, it's been too long!

Its called the Cape Wildlife Center.

It appears to be more of a rescue/hospital than a facility w/ public visitation.

I will send him an email to see if there is any type of interaction potential.

yeah i have had great success on Lake wequaket and also a pretty good sized pond called hathaways pond which is very close to wequaket.

Russ, thanks for the kind words. I married good; not sure my wife can say the same, though.

I've been way too busy working on the house, so a break will be good. I'd love to get out with you next week if we can work it out. I'm curious about the swimbait obsession and would love to get a demo. I'll have my cell with me. 781.413.4408. Give me a ring if it looks possible.
