If you’ve ever lived in Cape Cod, you live for the fall. The tourists return over the bridge, the dog days of August simmer into cool september nights, and most importantly, species like striped bass, bluefish, bluefin tuna, tautog, false albacore, and bonito start churning up the nearshore waters.
