The waters around Barnstable and Cape Cod Bay offer some of the most reliable fishing on the East Coast. During summer months, expect calm seas in the mornings with potential for afternoon breezes. The protected areas inside the bay provide excellent fishing opportunities even when offshore conditions aren't ideal.
