Cod
While not as common as other species closer to shore, venturing offshore from Sagamore Beach can put you on some impressive cod. These bottom dwellers prefer cooler waters, so the best time to target them is during the colder months, typically from late fall through early spring. The deeper waters of Stellwagen Bank, accessible by boat from Sagamore, are a popular cod fishing destination. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms and strong currents. Jigs and bait rigs are both effective. A local tip: pay close attention to your electronics to locate schools of cod and identify promising bottom structure. Be sure to check the latest regulations, as cod stocks are carefully managed. Remember, cod are a valuable resource, so practice responsible fishing and release undersized fish carefully.
