The shallow flats hold fluke and scup during summer months, while deeper channels produce striped bass and occasional bluefish. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action as baitfish migrations draw gamefish through these waters. Captain Mark adjusts techniques based on conditions—from light tackle casting to bottom fishing—ensuring every angler stays engaged regardless of experience level.
Cape Cod's fishing success depends heavily on tidal movement and seasonal patterns that Captain Mark has studied for years. Early morning trips often produce the best results, especially during moving tides when baitfish become active.

Wind direction plays a crucial role in choosing fishing spots—Captain Mark knows protected areas for rough days and open water locations when conditions allow. The relatively shallow waters around East Dennis warm quickly in spring, making this area productive earlier than deeper offshore locations.
