Located just off the Orleans Rotary, Goose Hummock has been serving Cape Cod anglers for decades. While the store stocks everything from freshwater bass gear to surf fishing set ups to fly-fishing equipment, its offshore department has evolved into a true headquarters for tuna, shark, swordfish, and canyon fishermen. Goose Hummocks offshore room is one of the largest offshore fishing departments in the Northeast, carrying hundreds of rods, reels, spreader bars, jigs, and accessories from the industry's leading brands &manufacturers.

Offshore anglers will find premium reels from Shimano, Penn, Daiwa, Altucenos, Accurate, and other top brands, along with an extensive selection of trolling rods, jigging setups, and deep-drop gear. We also have a huge selection from Zacks Custom Rods.

Another major advantage is the knowledge behind the counter.

Their expertise helps customers select the right tackle, build effective trolling spreads, and rig equipment for local conditions. The store also offers professional spooling and rigging services to ensure anglers hit the water fully prepared.
In an era when many tackle shops have reduced inventory and shifted online, Goose Hummock continues to invest heavily in store in offshore fishing. The result is a department that offers one of the largest selections of offshore tackle in New England that is supported by knowledgeable staff.
