Massachusetts South Shore Fishing Report BY: On the Water Magazine. A gill-netter who is friendly with Pete Belsan has been telling (and showing) the Scituate shop owner that there are more flounder out there than he has seen in years! He’s also finding migrating fluke and tautog! Haddock on the bank remains a shallow-water, easy-limits affair as the fun is taking place between 80 and 100 feet. Mr. Belsan has a hunch that haddock just might be sniffing around as close as Stone Ledge and because that is in state waters, anglers can even target cod while fishing for haddock. From the mouth of the North River out to Stellwagen, every drop of a Sabiki rig is likely to come up with sea herring. I’m hearing of improving numbers of this very valuable forage from the South Shore to the North Shore, so it looks like a good year for them. Anglers are also scoring a few scout mackerel intermittently. If sea herring don’t get your blood boiling, then maybe news from the North River of their more athletic cousins – shad – will! Providing you target the North and Indian Head Rivers under low light conditions and work the lower half of the water column, you should have no problem catching these leaping gamesters. What you also may see is pogies! Maybe you are surprised, but some are in Boston already as well which, believe it or not, happens this early most years. The first wave of micro stripers has invaded South Shore rivers and estuaries and they can even be found off beaches. One customer of the shop caught consistent 16-inch on-average fish from Egypt Beach through Sand Hills. Flounder fortunes can be directly tied to the weather. Should we ever get tranquil sunny conditions consistently, look for them to go on a tear from Brown’s Bank through Green Harbor as well as Scituate Harbor and Cohasset Harbor. It never ceases to amaze how quickly flatties will turn-on minutes after the sun pops out on a cloudy day.
