Discover Prime Fishing in Buzzards Bay: Seasonal Catches Await
Buzzards Bay is seeing an increase in fish activity as we move further into spring. The waters are warming up, and fish are becoming more active. This makes it a fantastic time for both inshore and offshore fishing. Anglers are having great success catching a variety of species, including scup, black sea bass, and striped bass. The bay is providing excellent fishing opportunities for anglers of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros. Inshore Fishing: Inshore fishing in Buzzards Bay has been particularly productive. Scup and black sea bass are abundant and easily found in deeper waters near the rocks and structure along the bay. These species are providing fun action for anglers looking for a reliable catch. Striped bass are also starting to show up, especially around the early mornings or late evenings. They’re feeding aggressively, and those using live bait like menhaden or soft plastics are seeing success. Flounder are also making a slow comeback, and anglers are finding them in sandy bottom areas. Offshore Fishing: Offshore fishing has been steady, with good numbers of cod and tautog coming up from the depths. The waters are rich with nutrient-dense plankton, which is attracting various fish species in the area. The best catches have been coming from deeper waters, where larger fish like cod are actively feeding. Tautog have also been spotted around wrecks and reefs, providing some exciting action for anglers using crabs or green crabs as bait. Keep an eye out for the occasional bluefish as well, though they tend to be more sporadic this time of year. Weather & Conditions: The weather in Buzzards Bay has been cooperative, with temperatures ranging from mid-50s to low 60s, creating favorable conditions for fishing. Winds have been moderate, allowing for smooth trips on the water. Water clarity is improving, and the fish are becoming more responsive to bait as the season progresses. Tips: Try fishing early in the morning or late in the afternoon to catch striped bass at their most active. Use heavy tackle when fishing for cod and tautog offshore, as these species can be strong fighters. Live bait like menhaden and mackerel work best for striped bass and black sea bass.
