Cod
While not as abundant as they once were, cod fishing remains a draw for anglers venturing out of Green Harbor, Massachusetts. The best time to target cod in this area is during the colder months, typically from late fall through early spring, when they move closer to shore. Look for them around rocky bottom structure and wrecks in deeper waters offshore. Jigging with heavy metal jigs or bait fishing with clams or squid are effective techniques. The waters off Green Harbor can be challenging due to strong currents and unpredictable weather, so it's essential to check the forecast before heading out. A reliable boat with good electronics is a must for locating fish and navigating safely. While the cod population has faced challenges in recent years, responsible fishing practices, such as adhering to size and bag limits, are crucial for ensuring the sustainability of this iconic fishery. Check with local bait shops for the most up-to-date information on cod locations and regulations.
