Fishing off of Gloucester, Mass., Cape Ann has been excellent if you like cod and haddock fishing. The sports have been getting their individual limit of cod(10 per person)and the haddock with no limit. Most of the fishing has been off of the famous Stellwagon Bank known as Midddlebank to the locals. Also while fishing in the area you should take a camera, there have been plenty of humpback whales putting on a display while feeding on sand eels.
Schoolie Striped Bass are starting to show up along our coast. The big fish 25-50 pounders should be arriving the middle of May, usually arriving around Mother's Day. In Massachusetts you are allowed two striped bass over 28" per person.
Flounder fishing in the outer harbor is starting to pick up allowing 8 fish per person.Flounders have a sweet white meat which is excellent when fried or broiled.
