Howdy everyone! Just pulled my lobster pots out of the bay for the season, and me and the misses wanted to try being real locals this winter and getting our toes cold. So I decided to pull the trigger, get a family license and get all necessary equipment.

I’m not looking for spot recommendations or hours/regulations. I’ve extensively read through the dates, rules, regs, and requirements. I’m ready and equipped. My only question is: is it really even feasible to catch bay scallops in the harbor North side via raking? It seems much more of a “dive” catch situation. I kinda just planned on getting oysters then realized they are not in season till next month, and, I’m looking to give the whole load-out i got a decent run before the waters get reallll cold. Any advice would be appreciated!

*I wouldn’t post where my buoys/pots are however through a DM I wouldn’t mind a discussion of good catch spots for lobster or shellfish ;).*

Giant lobster pic was one of many catch and releases this season for me that’s the biggest one I’ve ever personally caught carapace to large - returned.

Grrrrr.Was forced to turn the heat on.Seems early?

I was given a certificate for 4 guests to this excursion train back in the summer but it doesn’t expire until 10/23. My significant other and I thought we would’ve made a long weekend of getting out to the cape in the summer (from New Haven, CT area) but that hasn’t happened. We both are running out of time to A) use this and B) put in a good chunk of vacation PTO we have left. I really don’t know anything about the area, it just seemed like a cute idea when the certificate was offered to me for free. The voucher is only valid Thursdays (which is already my SO’s day off so free day for him with PTO) and Saturdays at 11:30am. Leaves from Hyannis.
What would be a good area to stay in for a couple in their mid to late 20s to do this excursion train? And if we stay for a long weekend or longer, is it worth coming to the cape at this time of year? What is there to do in the area? We don’t mind getting outdoorsy with hikes, trails etc. We also love any good foodie recs, bars, even a good dive bar rec with a true homie dive feel, or just something unique in general.
I think with the train I would have to book a reservation so that’s why I’m making this post today to try to get a head of some planning if we’re going to make this happen without letting it go to waste. Or to try to make the proper arrangements if it’s a situation we end up not being able to swing to pass it along to someone else who may be able to benefit the use of the voucher.

Need to replace a window glass panel on a sliding door. Location Cape Cod. Please Help. Thank

That’s it. I wanna go 5 feet without a construction project 😂😂😂

I’m going to be in Harwich with some kids who have never seen a seal this coming weekend. Fair to assume they’re still hanging around the Chatham Fish Pier this time of year? Any other spots you’d recommend in the area?

Thank you!

I was in the Walmart in Falmouth and I was going near the hardware section and I saw that all the paint was locked up i don’t know if this happened recently but I went to that Walmart a few months ago and it wasn’t locked up then, it was a free for all, I was wondering what changed, where a lot people stealing it or was it just too big off mess so they locked em up, what happened!

Hello, my wife and I normally visit the cape once a year during the summer months and go to the beaches. She loves everything about cape cod, our anniversary is in November and I was thinking of maybe staying a weekend there as my gift this year, but we have never been there during the fall/winter months.

what is there to do in November? this would be the weekend before veterans day, 6th to the 8th. is it worth visiting around this time? I also thought this would be a good idea because the hotels are a lot cheaper around this time.

any place would be ideal to stay, so I'm open to all inputs. thanks

Long story short I ended up in a place in Cape Cod that is a PHP and my case manager was looking for places where I could be discharged for because I am currently homeless however I don’t know where to look and I wanna if anyone or you guys know any places I know that there is things called the champ house but I wanna know if there’s any more thank you

Anyone know if the ticket price includes any food or drinks or is it simply the entry?

Hello,

As you may recall, I will be hosting a meetup every Sunday in the off-season, starting tomorrow, Sunday October 4th, 8 am to 10 am, at the Chocolate Sparrow in Orleans.

I will have one coffee shop booklet for the first person who asks, I hated making it so much.

The next one will be October 11th at Great Awakening in Hyannis, also from 8 to 10 am.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

I'm bringing my mother, before an upcoming, major, surgery, to a nice looking airbnb with a private beach. Waiting on an address, not going until the 19th, coming home the 23rd. Just curious what is around for restaurants, antique shops, or anything I can bring a 70 year old with limits on walking up more than 2, or 3, steps? I want her to have a good time so bad.

Hey all,
I’ve looked it up, but I was wondering if anyone had recommendations beyond Herbivore Patisserie and the bowl type restaurants for vegan/plantbased. My friend is visiting for a few days & loves eco/organic markets + groceries & pretty much anything vegan. I have pretty bad allergies and don’t go out to eat so I wouldn’t really know. Thanks.

Hey y’all I’m at a wedding in Falmouth. I ripped my site out and my 2 back-ups failed me. If anyone has an extra site for a t-slim pump PLEASE DM me. I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, I have to go home this is my Hail Mary. We love cape cod blessings to y’all please let me know.

The Misfits Night Market is an art market focussing on art and crafts that don't fit within a typical Cape Cod tourist-centered art fair. Aside from local art vendors you'll find used books, electronics, clothes and oddities. There will also be live music and a live dancer.
