Haddock
New Bedford serves as a convenient departure point for accessing the productive haddock grounds of the Gulf of Maine. Haddock fishing generally peaks in the spring and early summer, but can continue throughout the year. These fish are found in deeper waters, often over rocky bottoms and around ledges. Using bait such as clams, sea worms, or cut mackerel on a high-low rig is a popular and effective method. Many anglers also use jigging techniques. A local tip: Book a trip with a reputable charter boat captain who knows the local haddock hotspots. Be aware of the groundfish regulations, including size and possession limits, which can be complex and subject to change. Also, be sure to bring plenty of chum to attract haddock to your area.
