Duxbury Fishing Report

OFFSHORE – There aren’t a lot of anglers heading out locally this week. There may be holdover Striped Bass (Bass, Striped) to the North and South. We have not had any reports of Smelt at this time. To the North local Trout ponds are stocked as anglers begin to focus on more Freshwater. In the Saltwater, there are some Cod (Cod, Atlantic) being caught on the beach. Clam on the bottom with a simple bottom rig will do well to hook them. Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic) and Smelt are around. Smelt are on a bit of a downslide. They can be found in the harbor. Stripers (Bass, Striped) and Bluefish are pretty much gone.

BAIT REPORT – We haven’t had any reports from offshore locally however there are still a few recreational Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) out at the bank but most anglers are staying inside. A lot of anglers have started fishing Freshwater until the Spring.

INSHORE – To the North Smelt are swimming with a few big Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic) this week. Fish the Island or Summer Street in Boston. You can jig them up with Sabiki rigs.

There’s some holdover fish around the rivers and inshore, they’re just small. You’ll have to travel out of state if you want to get into any big fish. There hasn’t been much on Cod (Cod, Atlantic) this week. PRO ANGLER APP USERS – Tap a fish below the report for more angling tips and tricks!

INSHORE – There are still some schoolie Striped Bass (Bass, Striped) being caught this week. Anglers are searching the ditches to find them moving through. They are up to almost 30 lbs but you will have to put some time in and sort through the smaller sizes to find them. Sand Eels have been a great bait to hook them. Similar artificials by Savage have been productive. Mackerel have been caught in the East end during the moving tide. You can also find Stripers in this area following them. PRO ANGLER APP USERS – Tap a fish below the report for more angling tips and tricks!

Duxbury Fishing Report

INSHORE – We haven’t heard much locally here. To the north, closer to Boston, the beaches and rivers are still producing some schoolie Stripers (Bass, Striped). There’s been a lot of Mackerel up there so that, or an imitation like a white plug, has been good to throw at them. Reports of big fish to the south have been few and far between. The beaches are still producing some schoolies.

OFFSHORE – There are sporadic showings of Bluefin (Tuna, Bluefin) in the middle of the bay. Most anglers are casting to smaller fish them as commercial fishing is closed. The Strategic Anglers are a good lure to use. Most people still using live bait are getting into too big of fish. There have been hit or miss reports from Stellwagen and the east side has some fish from P-town and east of Chatham. We’ve been hearing about lots of anglers having to pass up casting at giants and selectively targeting the smaller fish that are mixed in.

BAIT REPORT – Mackerel are up north along with Smelt and there’s also some smaller baits out in Cape Cod Bay.

INSHORE – Anglers are heading to the canals this week for the bigger Stripers (Bass, Striped) at dawn and dusk. Most fish have moved out at this point and the weather is changing quickly. If you can find a decent day you may find some Tog (Tautog). Search rocky structures and jetties to find them. They are hit or miss, some days they are hot and some days they are scarce. The middle of Cape Cod bay is providing a great Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) bite. Mackerel has been the key bait if you can find them. PRO ANGLER APP USERS – Tap a fish below the report for more angling tips and tricks!

OFFSHORE – The weather has been a bit too unfavorable for anglers to head out this week. If you are determined to get out and catch some fish there are Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) biting around the middle of Cape Cod bay. If you can find Mackerel, that’s going to be the best bait for them.

INSHORE – Green Harbor, South towards the Canal and Sandwich have been great for Bass (Bass, Striped) fishing along with the canal itself. Plugs, Gibbs Lures, Lights Out Lures and custom wooden surface topwater lures in light colors are working well to hook them. You can also snag Bunker and light line them. First light and last light are the best times to fish. In the sound there are still a lot of fish off the bay. Striped Bass can be caught right off the beaches. Gibbs Lures are good here too. Walk the beach and look for signs. Cast right into them when you see bait pushing. Off of Chatham there are a few Bass hanging out but they aren’t as thick as they have been. The Big Buck Contest starts on the 17th. The buy in is $10 and winner takes all! See store for details! PRO ANGLER APP USERS – Tap a fish below the report for more angling tips and tricks!

INSHORE – The Flounder (Flounder, Winter) and Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] bite has been great between Duxbury and Marshfield.

Duxbury Fishing Report

INSHORE – There are some nice fish (Bass, Striped) in the canal this week up to 35 lbs. The temperatures are getting very hot so it’s not the best conditions to head out. With the warmer weather they will generally move a bit off the shore into the deeper water however they never move too far out. For the most part, swimming plugs and live eels are a great bet to hook them if you can get your hands on some. For larger sizes, some anglers will live line Herring, Menhaden and Mackerel, whatever they have to hook them. They are biting out in the bay for the commercial anglers as well.

OFFSHORE – Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) are out on the banks and ledge this week. There is a Killer Whale that may be pushing a few of them away from the closer waters.

Duxbury Fishing Report

INSHORE – From the beaches around Beetle Rock and Third, Fourth and First Cliff are all producing Striped Bass (Bass, Striped) from mid 30s to high 40s up to 36 lbs. They are loving live Mackerel.

OFFSHORE – The Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) have been biting the middle section of Stellwagen Bank. Plenty of fish have been caught on kites with live Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic). A handful were caught on custom swimming Ballyhoo with a pink and white head. To the East towards the Cod Grounds has been holding some great sizes as well. They are up to 95 inches. The full moon was surprisingly productive. It was great. The nearshore Striper (Bass, Striped) fishing continues to be hot and cold. The warmer weather is having better fishing than the cold days. The point and bar right off Provincetown have been great areas to look. The most productive method is vertical jigging on Daddy Mac Lures. Slick Fish Umbrella Rigs have also been great as they look just like the thick running Sand Eels.

BAIT REPORT – Sand Eels are everywhere this week. Mackerel are feeding on them and there are some Herring (Threadfin) swimming underneath. Check out Green Harbor Bait & Tackle in this weekend’s Hyannis Tuna Fest sponsored by Castafari Charters! Stop by for weigh in and cheer them on. Good luck anglers!

Duxbury Fishing Report

INSHORE – The word from the Goose Hummock Shop was of some crazy Striper (Bass, Striped) fishing with huge numbers of small bass being caught and released. The hot lure according to Captain Austin is the Spro bucktail with R2 heads and 4-inch herring-colored tails. These have accounted for several small keepers in the 29-inch class which are being returned. Squid have moved up into this area providing an opportunity to collect some bait or great eating.

Duxbury Fishing Report

INSHORE – Reports are coming in that there are still mackerel being caught in the East End of the Canal. He also heard of a big school of Mackerel, Atlantic off Chatham. The angler who tipped Stan off had been fishing for giant Tuna, Yellowfin. While no bluefin found his baits, they angler did catch an estimated 400-pound Shark. Stan said the angler didn’t mention which species of shark. Given the time of year, seems likely, although a 400-pound Porbeagle would be a very big one.The Helen H had a wreck-fishing trip on Saturday. Stan said it was a productive trip, although many anglers caught, and then had to release, large Sea Bass, Black because they are out of season. The Focus is mostly on freshwater at this point of the year. Anglers who put their time in can still find a decent saltwater bite.

DISCLAIMER:
Since fishing conditions change from minute to minute we try to keep our reports as updated as possible. The United States is a large country, so we try to keep our Duxbury Fishing Report updated once a week. If you would like to contribute to the Duxbury Fishing Report, feel free to email your fishing tips to mike@proangler.us. We rely on even small contributions to inform us that fishing conditions have changed so we can update the Duxbury Fishing Report.

The Duxbury Fishing Report Report is brought to you by the Pro Angler team and many, many, highly skilled Captains and bait shop owners.
