Tautog & Scup Kayak Fishing | Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- Fishing Cape Cod for tautog and scup (also called porgies) can be a lot of fun! Both species fight well and are often caught in the same spots using the same baits. Tautog (also called blackfish) and scup (also called porgy) arrive in Cape waters during May and stick around throughout the spring, summer and fall.
In this video clip from season 4 of My Fishing Cape Cod TV, I am kayak fishing over rocky bottom for blackfish and porgies. For bait, I am using live green crabs on a 2 ounce Togzilla jig from Joe Baggs Tackle available at the @Goose Hummock Shop . To learn more about the tackle and equipment used, please visit myfishingcapecod.com/resources/
Please be aware that kayak fishing during the spring can be dangerous, due to frigidly cold water temperatures. Even on bright sunny days it won't take long for hypothermia to set in, God forbid you were to fall in.
I recently ordered this Gul Drysuit (www.watersportsoutlet.com/202...) which I recommend wearing for safety from hypothermia. Wearing a dry suit while kayak fishing is one of the best ways to stay safe when the water is cold.
The minimum size limit for tautog in Massachusetts is 16 inches with a daily bag limit of three fish per angler between April 1 - May 31, one fish per angler June 1 - July 3, three fish per angler August 1 - October 14, and five fish per angler October 15 - December 31. The minimum size limit for scup is 9 inches with a daily bag limit of thirty fish per angler, not to exceed 150
fish per vessel with 5 or more anglers onboard.

Omg am I glad this popped up on my recommendation.
Your wife's recipe was so good 👍
Awesome feedback, thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing that was a great fight and looks like a great dinner
Awesome fight and it was a great dinner. I had some more scup two nights ago actually, and a sea robin! Tight lines. 🎣
A well done video and a very nice blackfish. Nice job 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Tight lines 🎣
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job👌👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love me some tog!
What a great video!! I love the shots you took. I’m new to mass and currently living In Quincy (near Boston area), that spot where you went, do you have to take the fairy? And what other spots for tog do you recommend for kayak fishing? Thanks in advance and thanks for a great video!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! No I did not take a ferry to access the spots fished in this video. You can find tautog in rocky areas all throughout Buzzards Bay, Vineyard Sound and even Cape Cod Bay. If you sign up for a membership on my site myfishingcapecod.com then I’d be happy to help you more. Thank you again for watching and commenting! 😎🙌🏻🎣
So informative. Great footage. I’m in east Dennis. Where are you fishing at, and how far to you venture out from shore?
This was filmed in Buzzard's Bay, but I fish off Dennis quite often too. In the kayak I try to stay within a half mile of the shoreline. LMK if I can help answer anything else. Tight lines! 🎣
@@MyFishingCapeCodlooks like Fairhaven or Marion? That ain't the cape
Nice video and nice looking recipe. what general area of the Cape has the best scup / tog fishing? I'm land based, maybe next year a kayak will be in the mix. Thanks
Any rock pile in 15-30ft of water in Buzzard's Bay, Vineyard Sound or Nantucket Sound has potential for tog and scup. You can also find them off jetties. Scup especially like to hang out around inlets along the southside. Gluck! 🎣
@@MyFishingCapeCod thanks, was at the ditch yesterday got a nice schoolie on the jig but didn't see anyone else hooking up. Tried Craigville beach but not bait, no birds, no blues but what a great day. Thanks will be renewing my membership this week.
if you ended up in the water in with those waders can you swim?
I wear a GUL U-Zip Drysuit now which is better. In this video however, I had a Rock Hopper wading belt tied tightly around my waist, with a STORM surf top and Stohlquist lifejacket, so I was more or less water-tight. I'm confident I would have been OK swimming but I did not try.
Hey Ryan, are u wearing waders here? I’m going to launch my kayak early too and was wondering if it’s dangerous to launch with the waders on incase of flipping?
You want to be 100% waterproof/watertight because the water during the spring is so cold. In other words you don’t want any water touching your skin.
In this video I’m wearing my Simms waders with a STORMR top and a wading belt fastened tightly around my waist. With this setup I’m watertight and virtually waterproof, so no water is going to touch my skin or fill up my waders.
However, the best and safest option is to purchase a dry suit, which I have done since creating this video. I am now wearing a GULL dry suit for early season fishing and it is what I recommended. www.watersportsoutlet.com/2021-gul-mens-code-zero-stretch-zip-drysuit-with-con-zip-underfleece-gm0368-black-p-32192.html
@@MyFishingCapeCod thank you for the valuable information Ryan! Appreciate you!
Do you think the tog jig hooks are big for the tautog?
For the smaller tog, yes they are a bit large. But for the big keeper-size tog, I think they work pretty well.
You must get a leg workout by keeping your position in that current!
Yes, definitely!
Why do people prefer to wear wader when going on a kayak?
Being waterproof is nice when the water is cold. I would actually recommend wearing a drysuit when kayak fishing during the spring and late fall.
@@MyFishingCapeCod isn’t that difficult when you need to pee? Do you need to know how to swim if you want to own a kayak?
