Massachusetts Fishing Report – December 10, 2020
Most are taking advantage of open water and willing trout!
For hardwater junkies, skim ice and frozen puddles (however fleeting) have been a tease about what hopefully is just around the corner. In the blink of an eye water bodies could “catch” and open water will have to wait until spring. With that in mind it might be a good idea to get in your casting licks now while you can.

The best open water options according to Pete from
Belsan Bait and Tackle in Scituate remain trout ponds from Plymouth through the Cape, however, there is always the possibility of hooking mackerel off Cedar Point. Your chances of hooking a special trout from shore will continue to improve as water bodies “turnover” which happens when the surface dips to 39 degrees, sinks and dissolves the thermocline resulting in a flushing out of deeper water holdover trout (and bait). Several years ago I witnessed just such a phenomenon as a huge school of shiners came cruising right into the shoreline with the predators right behind them.
