Haddock
Haddock fishing near Salem, Massachusetts, is a rewarding experience, offering delicious table fare and exciting action. The waters off the North Shore, including areas like Stellwagen Bank (accessible by boat from Salem), are renowned for haddock. Spring and fall are typically the best seasons, as these fish move into shallower waters. Focus on areas with gravel or sandy bottoms, where haddock feed on crustaceans and small invertebrates. A local's secret is to use a multi-hook rig baited with clams or sea worms, as this increases your chances of attracting these bottom feeders. The presence of birds diving often indicates a concentration of baitfish, and thus, haddock. Keep an eye on your depth finder; haddock tend to school at specific depths. Be mindful of the regulations regarding haddock size and possession limits, as they can change frequently to protect the fishery.
