Reliable trout fishing continues, pickerel dominate the bite in the bass ponds and strange things happen in the Vineyard Sound surf.

Chain pickerel, bass and trout entertain anglers fishing the freshwater ponds, while some anglers prefer to chase holdover striped bass.

White perch and trout entertain the masses, shellfishing is very productive, and a few winter flounder were caught around south/central Cape.

Trout fishing is the main event this week, with chain pickerel, largemouth bass and white perch providing additional entertainment in the ponds.

Trout and white perch are still the name of the game after the storm and sub-freezing temperatures put a hold on fishing last week.

Trout and white perch are the main attraction this week, and holdover stripers become active in the salt ponds amid high winds.

Smaller ponds locked up with skim ice this week, leaving anglers no option but to squeak out a few rainbow trout on larger kettle lakes.

Trout, bass, pickerel, perch and holdover stripers provide this week's fishy entertainment on Cape Cod and the Islands.

There are whispers of striped bass and mackerel in the Canal, meanwhile, rainbow trout, perch and bass entertain spin and fly anglers on the ponds.

Schoolies feed sporadically in the Canal, tautog fishing slows after low temps and high winds, and freshwater produces big rainbow trout & bass.
