FISHING in new england
The striped bass is so prized for its size and battle on the line that many anglers consider it the best game fish in Massachusetts. This species is found in Massachusetts from May to November. Fishing at dusk or dawn is the best time to catch them, but fishing at night is often good during midsummer. Fishing with bait or lures from the shore is best in areas where currents occur.
Black sea bass are stout-bodied with a long dorsal fin and large pectoral and pelvic fins. The dorsal fin has a spiny forward section and the soft rayed rear section, and is marked with a series of white spots and bands. The tail is rounded and sometimes has a long streamer at the top edge. As the name implies, their body coloration is blackish to grayish, but the center of the scales is white. During the spawning season, however, dominant males turn bright blue colors and have a large hump on their heads. Juveniles are brown in color and have a dark lateral stripe running down the body. Black sea bass can reach up to 25” in length and over 8 pounds in weight.
Blackfish, also known as Tautog, are hard fighting and excellent tasting bottom feeding fish. They are brown and dark olive, with white blotches, and have plump elongated bodies. They have an average weight of 1 to 3 lb (0.5 to 1.5 kg) and reach a maximum size of 3 ft (1 m), 25 lb (11 kg). A cold water fish, Tautog migrate seasonally inshore and offshore. The species frequents rock piles, bridge pilings, artificial reefs and old wrecks. Tautog feed entirely on invertebrates, including crabs, mussels, mollusks, sand shrimp, amphipods, and worms, using their strong back teeth to crush hard shells. These fish are active during the day and quiet and inactive during night, hiding from predators. They found in salt water along the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to South Carolina, with the greatest number lying along inshore waters from southern Cape Cod to the Delaware Bay.
Short for false albacore, “Albies” are the trickiest northeast inshore saltwater fish to catch but are well worth the effort. A pelagic fish, Albies have streamlined bodies, and are built to attack prey in short bursts of speed.
