Walleye
Walleye aren't the first species that comes to mind when you think of Amesbury, Massachusetts, but dedicated anglers can find them in the Merrimack River. The Merrimack offers the best opportunity for walleye in this region. Fall and early spring are the most productive times to target them, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Focus your efforts around areas with rocky bottoms, current breaks, and bridge pilings. These structures provide ambush points for walleye as they hunt for prey. A jig tipped with a nightcrawler or a swimbait are effective presentations. Fishing at night or during low-light conditions can also significantly increase your chances of success. Access to the Merrimack is available at several boat ramps along its course, but be prepared for strong currents and boat traffic. Keep in mind that walleye populations are not as robust here as in other parts of the country, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery. Check local regulations for any specific restrictions on walleye fishing.
