About Goose Hummock Shop
The Goose Hummock Shop is Cape Cod's largest independent fishing tackle and outdoor sports retailer, anchoring the waterfront in Orleans since 1946. Located at the gateway to the Outer Cape, this family-owned institution has been the go-to outfitter for generations of anglers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts exploring the Cape's bays, ponds, and open-ocean waters.
Their massive inventory covers every fishing discipline — saltwater fly fishing, offshore trolling, inshore jigging, and surf casting — plus a full kayak and paddleboard department with rental and demo options. They also run guided fishing trips and kayak tours from their on-site marina, making it easy to go from gear selection to on-the-water adventure in minutes. Seasonal workshops cover knot tying, fly casting, and marine navigation.
What makes the Goose Hummock special is the depth of local knowledge behind the counter. Staff members are lifelong Cape anglers who share real-time fishing reports, tide charts, and secret spots with every customer. The shop has earned a loyal following that stretches well beyond Orleans, drawing visitors from across New England who consider a stop at "the Hummock" a non-negotiable part of any Cape Cod trip.
