Striped Bass
Buzzards Bay is a striped bass haven, offering a diverse range of fishing opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. The bay's complex structure, including rocky shorelines, sandy beaches, and deep channels, provides ample habitat for stripers. Focus your efforts around structure like Cleveland Ledge, Wings Neck, and the numerous points and coves along the shoreline. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as striped bass migrate through the bay in search of forage. Live eels are a classic bait, but casting plugs, swimbaits, and flies can also be highly effective. A local tip: Pay attention to the tides; stripers often congregate around areas with strong current. Public access is available at several boat ramps, including those in Wareham and Bourne. Be aware of the strong currents and boat traffic, especially during peak season.
