Massachusetts Fishing Report – May 6, 2021
With schoolies swarming most inshore areas, you should have no problem catching.
While the weather has not been fisher-friendly it sure hasn’t stopped the ongoing migration of our beloved striper as reports of fresh fish trickle in from the South Shore through the North Shore. Haddock remain the hot ticket for deeper water adventurers with the haul not necessarily as far from port as you may think. With the focus so totally now on linesiders, you may find freshwater honey holes now lacking company.

Pete Belsan of
Belsan Bait and Tackle in Scituate said that schoolie bass up to the mid-20” range are beginning to swarm the Three Bays, Scituate Harbor, the North River and all the way into Cohasset. The new Bill Hurley ABB stick bait has been one of the more consistent catchers for these fresh fish. Divers are reporting tautog moving upstream into estuaries and bays as they prepare to spawn.

Well, they are here! Fresh schoolies have invaded Greater Boston and while I haven’t heard, I suspect the South Shore as well!

Friend’s fishy photos serve a number of purposes: the altruistic of which could be considered an invite to – “get the heck down here!”. But then there’s the torturous side of those pictures which seem intended to torment as if to say, “I’m catching these and you’re not”! I felt both emotions recently thanks to my buddy Rick from Sandwich as he sent me pics of beautiful brookies that were freshly stocked on the Cape.

Meteorologically speaking, it’s not spring yet but we outdoor types who are synchronized to a different kind of rhythm are feeling it. The sounds of songbirds are now filling the air and the swarms of grackles almost overnight seem determined to empty every bird feeder in the neighborhood. Masswildlife is not immune to such stirrings either as their website is now announcing that the Southeast District will be stocked with trout sometime this month!
