Closer to the coast, anglers have been finding a good largemouth feeding where there's warmer water, while to the west, where fishable ice persists, anglers have been getting into a good pike and panfish bite.
South Shore stripers up to 50-inches are being taken on eels while bonito, in both big and small versions, have made an appearance from Provincetown through Scituate.
Fishing is good up and down the coast, with a variety of good options including South Coast fluke, stripers and slab scup all feeding, a good fluke bite in Vineyard Sound and Tautog crunching crabs on wrecks and ledge throughout the South Shore.
