The key is venturing offshore to deeper waters, typically 60-120 feet, where Cod congregate around wrecks and rocky bottoms. Winter is the prime time, when the Cod move closer to shore to feed. Focus on areas like Stellwagen Bank and the waters south of Cape Cod. Using jigs or bait rigs tipped with clams or herring is a common tactic.

A local tip is to check with local tackle shops for the latest reports on Cod locations and depths, as their movements can be unpredictable. Cod in this area are generally strong fighters, requiring sturdy tackle and a good understanding of deep-water fishing techniques.
