Haddock
Haddock fishing near Marblehead can be very rewarding, especially if you're willing to venture offshore. These members of the cod family prefer deeper, colder waters, typically found further out in Massachusetts Bay. The prime season for haddock is generally from spring through fall. Look for them around rocky bottoms and ledges, often in depths of 150 feet or more. Using a multi-hook rig baited with clams or sea worms is a popular and effective technique. Jigging with metal lures can also produce good results. When targeting haddock out of Marblehead, consider Stellwagen Bank as a prime destination. Always check the latest regulations regarding haddock fishing, including size and possession limits. Access is exclusively by boat, and it's recommended to have a seaworthy vessel and appropriate safety equipment for offshore fishing.
