Nestled in the heart of Orleans, Massachusetts, The Goose Hummock Shop has long been a legendary destination for Cape Cod anglers. While the shop has served inshore and freshwater enthusiasts for nearly 80 years, it's the Offshore Fishing Department that has evolved into one of the most respected and well-stocked resources for serious bluewater anglers in the Northeast.
A Headquarters for Offshore Addicts
From the world-famous waters of the Stellwagen Bank to the distant canyons like Veatch and Hydrographer, Cape Cod sits within striking distance of some of the best offshore fishing in North America. Tuna, mahi, swordfish, marlin, tilefish—you name it, the Goose Hummock Offshore Department is outfitted to help you catch it.
Walk into the offshore section and you’ll find a wide array of top-tier gear, including:
-
Big-game rods and reels from Shimano, Penn, Avet, and Daiwa, including the legendary Tiagra and VISX lines.
-
Trolling gear such as spreader bars, daisy chains, green machines, and the ever-popular RonZ soft baits for bluefin tuna.
-
Deep-drop and swordfish tackle, including electric reels, buoy rigs, lights, and specialty weights.
-
A wall of terminal tackle tailored for high-strength, saltwater-specific applications—swivels, crimps, cable, and fluorocarbon leaders in every pound test imaginable.
