Haddock
Targeting haddock near Buzzards Bay requires understanding the ebb and flow of the local ecosystem. This area is unique due to its proximity to both the open ocean and the more sheltered bay, creating diverse habitats that attract haddock at different times of the year. Spring and fall are prime times, as haddock follow the migration of sand eels and other forage fish into and out of the bay. Focus your efforts around structure like humps and ledges, especially those holding shellfish beds, which are a haddock favorite. A key tip is to monitor water temperature closely; haddock prefer cooler waters, so adjusting your depth accordingly is crucial. The waters off Cleveland Ledge are a popular starting point, but don't be afraid to explore less-pressured areas. Keep in mind that Buzzards Bay can experience strong currents, so be sure to use appropriately weighted gear to maintain bottom contact. Locally, haddock are known for their relatively large size compared to other areas, making for a rewarding fishing experience.
