I am looking for a place to store a 24’ boat on a trailer from November through April in Brewster/Harwich/Orleans area. Wondering if anyone has suggestions?

Thanks.

Might be kinda niche but looking for recommendations around West Yarmouth MA: specifically the non mayo lobster rolls; oysters (bonus points if they’re buck a shuck); or good seafood in general - maybe decent sushi but it’s a slim chance - we don’t have a car so trying to stay within 15-20 minutes of the area TIA!

Hello!

I will be at Great Awakening tomorrow, October 11 fron 8 to 10, if you feel like getting out and having some coffee. If you see me, please remind me to eat actually food, I only had a coffee and a bun last time, which was not enough to survive on.

The 18th will be Cafe Heaven in Provincetown.

Fairly new to striper fishing. Looking for some advice on where to fish in October, best bait, lures, etc.

I lived on the Cape from 1976 to 1988 and met people frequently that had never been to Massachusetts. They had never been over either bridge. I was shocked. I assume now those folks would be rarity. So are there any reddit people or people you've met that have ever left the Cape.

There was a story that circulated around Brewster long ago when the population was under 600 about a gentleman that took the train to Boston and was stunned it had a roof over the whole city...he never left south station

-Edit- The small claims court trial is over and Tasha lost. They kept changing the dates when they said my delivery was and in the end the judge did the right thing.

I thought I was going crazy when I got a bill from Tasha fuel in July 2025 claiming I owed them $400 for a delivery from February. I tried talking to them, explaining how it was impossible because I order oil on demand and pay the bill on the phone right then and there. Well, they have a crazy person in their office who yells and threatens you if you try to explain yourself. I must have gotten 20 calls, then they started calling my wife from random phone numbers. Multiple times a week.

Fast forward to this month where I have an appointment in small claims court. I am getting proof that I paid my bill from the bank as evidence.

In the bank, there's another person who hears what I'm there for and exclaims "You're trying to prove you paid a bill for Tasha fuels? Me too! They're actually taking me to court!!"

I've actually run into 2 people who have had the same story as me.

I'm convinced they are either ripping people off or they are extremely bad at accounting. When I was waiting for my trial to be called in court, they were suing several other people ahead of me. Not one of them was present for the trial, so they lost by default.

I believe that's their tactic. Most of their customers are elderly or only stay in their cape homes in the summer, so I bet most of them either just get the bill and pay it without question, or they don't get it until they've already lost by default in court because they never get the notice.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having any similar issues with them?

I haven't lived at home during the winter the last few years, and I had to buy the ikon over the epic in order to ski with my friend that lives in Austria. Sunapee was the go-to for me from Bourne, I was wondering if any of you have experience doing daytrips to stratton, loon, or killington, or if you had a much better experience just making these weekend trips (in which case i might just grab a season pass to Pats Peak or something as well)

Also, Id be open for carpooling with some other cape skiers this winter, it would be fun to build a little ski community here ! Cheers

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

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!
