    MSJ #8 - Captain Jay Cianciolo

    In our final 2026 fishing season podcast, Kevin and Eddy welcome in Captain Jay Cianciolo of FishNewportRI.   Captain Jay goes in depth into how he got started in fishing with his family and how ended up going chartering in Cape Cod Bay and now in Newport, RI.   We focus on his fishing season in Narragansett Bay and on the oceanside off Newport.  Jay goes into some of the critical details of his season in terms of general locations he has fished, the different bait he has seen and what has made this Striped Bass season different from other, but also, a tremendous season. We get into funnyfish, Fluke, Tautog, and a little bit of tuna in this RI focused podcast. To round out the podcast and season 1 of the MSJ, Kevin and Eddy discuss some of what may come in the offseason.

    MFCC-Monomoy Tackle Podcast 26

    On this week's edition of the MyFishingCapeCod podcast taped with host Kevin Collins and guest Eddy Kooyomjian, we do an update on the fishing at Monomoy in the late summer.  The two topics continue to be the strong black sea bass bite and the 'hit or miss' Striped Bass bite.  We discuss the presence (finally) of some consistent bluefish action along the south side beaches.  We touch on the 'funny fish' as well with rumors of Albies with the only 'real' intel being focused on Martha's Vineyard at the moment. We get into a bit of gear talk with the Z-Step being an effective and versatile lure this time of year.  We also discuss some effective lures for the funny fish season as well.

    2026 MFCC Podcast 21 - Fluke Versus Cancer Recap and Bonito Blitz

    This podcast aired on July 26th on the MyFishingCapeCod.com website. Cape Cod fishing hit a rare stretch this past weekend where two completely different styles of fishing both turned on. Monomoy Tackle founder and owner Eddy Kooyomjian had a front row seat for all the action and was kind enough to provide us with a fresh in-depth report!  Eddy taped this weekend's podcast report fresh off a Friday fluke trip on the outer shoals and a Saturday morning bonito run that produced the most solid funny fish intel the podcast has gotten all season. Between the two days, Eddy fished calm, glassy conditions on Friday and a fast-moving, bird-driven blitz on Saturday, coming home with a full rundown of where the fish are holding and exactly what is putting them in the boat.
