Chumming Up "Monster" Scup And Tautog On Cape Cod

Back on May 9th my good friend Jay Mazzola and I had a blast catching keeper-size scup and tautog.

Yes it's true that most anglers right now have striped bass fever, but scup and tautog fishing is a great change of pace, and a ton of fun once you get into a hot bite!

During this trip, Jay and I spent 2 hours moving from one spot to the next, searching in vain for tog and scup, and not even getting so much as a bite!

At around 7pm we decided to check one last spot. We anchored up in 20 feet of water, right on the edge of a drop off. Next we started chumming heavy with crabs.

I'm not sure how important the chum was, but the tog and scup showed up on the sonar almost immediately after we began chumming.

All of a sudden we found ourselves in the middle of a scup and tautog blitz. We could see the schools on the side scan sonar as they swam around the boat. It was a tautog and scup miracle! 🙌

For the next 45 minutes Jay and I enjoyed consistent bites on each drop. This was a much appreciated change of pace, considering we only had one bite the previous 2 hours.

Final tally was four keeper tautog and around a half dozen keeper scup. We released everything and kept two of the tog for dinner. 🎣

To be honest, I didn't expect fishing for scup and blackfish to be so challenging and fun. Stripers, tuna and roosterfish may always be my favorite species, but right now I'm having a blast with tog and scup here on the Cape!
