New England - South Shore Massachusetts to Maine Fishing Reports
The Fisherman Magazine Weekend Video Forecast 6/30/2022 – New England
Trophy striped bass are being caught from Boston, down through Cape Cod Bay, over in the Monomoy Rips, out at Block Island and in the western portions of Long Island Sound. In any one of these spots, a 50-pounder is a real possibility. Fluking is picking up in Connecticut, and seems to be slowing down a bit at Nantucket Shoals. The sea bass seem to be moving a little deeper across the region, but the bite won’t quit.

JUMBO STRIPERS UNDER THE POGIES
Best bet for this week is the area between Minot Ledge and Duxbury. There are large schools of bunker roaming those waters with big stripers lurking beneath the pogies. If you are lucky enough to find a big bunch of pogies, you have an excellent chance to hook up with a trophy striper. The great weather we have been experiencing is ideal conditions for this style of fishing. Offshore fishing for tuna and sharks will start to take hold as we move into July. Jeffreys Ledge and Stellwagen Bank as well as many of the inside humps will start producing impressive catches. There was a decent bite on medium size bluefin in the Gulf of Maine early in the week. July also marks the start for many of the offshore fishing battle wagons to venture out to the deep offshore canyons in search of big eye and yellowfin tuna, billfish as well tropical exotic species.

Captain Rich from Black Rose Fishing Charters reported there is a great variety of fish to catch aboard his vessel. Inshore for fishing for scup, sea bass and stripers in Buzzards Bay has been very strong. Offshore ground fishing on Stellwagen Bank has been very consistent. Bluefin tuna and shark fishing are just starting to turn on and will be an excellent option throughout the summer. Black Rose Fishing Charters specializes in 1 to 4 person charters and trailers to the best ports. Call Captain Rich or reservations; 508-269-1882. More

Shane from Belsans Bait and Tackle told me fishing is very good. Mackerel fishing has still been spotty this week making things tough for the striper fishermen. There have also been big schools of pogies between Humarock and Green Harbor that has produced some big fish that are lurking beneath the pogies. Bigger stripers are being landed on the outside ledges in deeper water. The North River, the beaches and the Cliffs are loaded with school sized bass with a few keepers in the mix. There was a brief show of bluefish last weekend but that action has slowed up. Offshore fishing for tuna, haddock and sharks has been steady. More

Martha from Surfland told me school sized, slot sized and jumbo-sized stripers are active both along the ocean front and inside the river. Low tide at the mouth of the Merrimack was very productive this week. One of their regular customers had is best night ever one evening this week trolling a tube and worm on Joppa Flats inside the river. He caught and released six stripers that were all over 40 inches in length. He went the following night and caught plenty of fish but none were over the slot limit. The beachfront was also good at sunrise though the flooding tide to the top of the tide.
The North End Boat Club had their annual charity tournament over the weekend. The results werent in when I spoke to Martha but the word was fishing was slower than it was during the week. More
