South Shore Massachusetts to Maine Fishing Reports

GREG METCALF-South Shore Massachusetts to Maine

November 23, 2020 - 10:01:14

There are still some school-size stripers being caught along the south shore from time to time, but the action has been very spotty. If you are looking for your best bet on stripers, both sides of the Amelia Earhardt Dam in Boston are where I would suggest trying. You can catch them from a boat trolling tube and worm rigs or by casting soft plastics. Other than the last group of tuna fishermen waiting for the short December tuna quota to open, most outdoor enthusiasts have put on their blaze orange and you can find them in the woods. It is a great time of the year to check out your fishing gear, send it out for servicing and start making your wish list for 2021. In a little less than a month the daylight hours will begin to increase and will we start the long slow wait for the opening of the 2021 fishing season. Best wishes to all our readers for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving season.
