What You'll Learn

Session 1: Following the Bite Across Cape Cod
Captain Tyler Putney - Flatliner Charters

If you trailer a boat on Cape Cod, you have an advantage anglers on moorings or at slips can't fully exploit: mobility. Tyler has built his entire guiding business around this strategy, taking hundreds of MFCC members fishing across Cape Cod's diverse waters over the past few years. His session is about the big picture—knowing where to launch, when to go, and what to target as conditions and seasons change throughout the year.

Topics include:
• Spring: Buzzard's Bay for tautog, black sea bass, and stripers; Cape Cod Bay for stripers; Vineyard Sound for stripers and black sea bass
• Summer: Cape Cod Bay and the three bays (Plymouth, Kingston, Duxbury) for stripers; Monomoy Rips for stripers
• Fall: Monomoy Rips and Cape Cod Bay for stripers; Cape Cod Bay and Buzzard's Bay for tautog; Nantucket Sound and Vineyard Sound for false albacore and bonito

Session 2: Cape Cod Bay Flounder, Tog, Stripers & More
Captain Mike Fowler - Bad Dog Sportfishing

Some anglers think of Cape Cod Bay as just a summer striper destination. Mike knows it's so much more. His session covers the full potential of Cape Cod Bay from spring through fall.

Topics include:
• Winter flounder fishing in Cape Cod Bay
• Tautog techniques and productive areas
• Striped bass and bluefish tactics across different Bay areas
• Reading bottom types and tidal conditions to find fish
• Bonito fishing in the Bay and maximizing the extended season across multiple species as conditions change

Session 3: Reading the Monomoy Rips & Cape Cod's Inshore Waters
Captain Ian Bragdon

Ian has a pending IGFA world record for the largest false albacore ever caught on fly rod. He's landed bluefin tuna on fly. He's fished all around the world. But here's why his session matters even if you don't fly fish: Ian's deep dive into fishing the Monomoy Rips and Cape Cod's inshore waters will cover fish behavior, structure, tides, and strategies that apply whether you're throwing flies, plugs, or soft plastics. When you understand how someone like Ian reads water and makes decisions, those lessons translate across all tackle.

Topics include:
• Deep dive into the Monomoy Rips: fish behavior, structure, tidal strategies, and how to approach one of Cape Cod's most legendary fishing grounds
• Fly fishing techniques for Cape Cod's inshore waters—presentation, line selection, fly patterns, and the unique challenges of saltwater fly fishing
• Reading water like a guide: how Ian decides where to position, what to throw, and when to move
• Species-specific strategies for stripers, albies, bonito, and more throughout the season
• The crossover knowledge: understanding fish behavior and water conditions that applies regardless of tackle choice

Session 4: Trophy Bottom Fishing
Captain Jimmy "The Greek" Koutalakis - On Time Charters

Anglers travel from all over the world to fish with The Greek, and when they do, they benefit from his years of experience and meticulous attention to detail. Whether it's doormat fluke in Nantucket Sound, jumbo black sea bass, scup, cod, haddock, or squid—Jim knows how and where to catch them. This isn't beginner material. This is advanced knowledge from someone who regularly takes MFCC anglers up to 50 miles offshore to target the largest fluke in the Northeast.

Topics include:
• Doormat fluke tactics for Nantucket Sound and Nantucket Island waters
• Jumbo black sea bass strategies and productive structure
• Scup fishing techniques for quality fish
• Squid fishing strategies and best windows
• Cod and haddock tactics for the Bay, Stellwagen, and out East
• Advanced rigging and presentation details that separate Jim's approach from the average angler

What You'll Experience

Live Interactive Learning
Every session includes Q&A time where captains address participant questions. Submit your questions in the live chat, and captains will cover the most relevant ones that benefit the group. This isn't watching a video—it's real-time learning where captains respond to actual challenges anglers are facing on Cape Cod waters.

Two Months of Recording Access
Can't make a live session? Every session is recorded. Review techniques before the season, refresh specific tactics, or watch sessions you missed—you'll have 2 months of access.

Structured Networking
After each session ends, we'll dedicate additional time to help attendees connect with other serious inshore anglers in breakout groups. This optional experience will help you find crew, build your fishing network, and connect with anglers in your region. These connections often prove as valuable as the instruction.

Four Expert Perspectives
Tyler gives you the seasonal big-picture framework for following the bite around Cape Cod as a trailer boat captain. Mike unlocks the full year-round potential of Cape Cod Bay across multiple species. Ian brings world-class credentials and deep knowledge of the Monomoy Rips and inshore waters. The Greek delivers advanced bottom fishing tactics for the trophy species most anglers struggle to find consistently. Together, they give you a complete Cape Cod inshore fishing education.

He's run over 20 group trips for MFCC members over the past two years, consistently putting people on fish. He knows what works in Cape Cod Bay because he lives it.

Captain Ian Bragdon
Ian has fished Cape Cod since he was a kid. Based in Chatham, he's worked at the Goose Hummock Shop for years (where he became an exceptional fishing teacher), and has been featured on My Fishing Cape Cod TV, the MFCC podcast, and in various other content over the years. His years at Goose Hummock turned him into a gifted communicator—he knows how to break down complex techniques in ways that make sense whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started.

His reputation extends well beyond Cape Cod—anglers who want to catch trophy bottom fish seek him out specifically. His meticulous attention to detail is what sets him apart: he doesn't just fish spots, he understands why they produce, when they produce, and how to maximize every opportunity.
