Cod
Cod fishing off Dennis Port, Massachusetts, offers a taste of classic New England angling. While not as abundant as they once were, targeting Cod here can still be rewarding, particularly during the colder months. The key is to focus on structure in deeper water. Look for rocky bottoms, wrecks, and ledges in Nantucket Sound and further offshore. Cod are bottom dwellers, so using jigs or bait rigs presented near the seabed is essential. The best time to target Cod is typically late fall through early spring, when they move closer to shore. A local tip: consider using a fish finder to locate areas with concentrations of baitfish or promising structure. Also, be prepared for potentially rough seas, especially when venturing further offshore. The waters off Cape Cod can be unpredictable. Be sure to check the marine forecast before you go. Access to offshore fishing is best via charter boats out of nearby harbors.
