Well, we've had a stretch of some pretty bad weather here lately with seas as high as 11 feet. :o So, naturally, safety should be a main concern. Guy's are catching some good Stripers, but I've found that this time of year, the Striper action is better from shore via surf and jetty fishing.
Cod fishing should be good provided we get some decent weather that calms the sea a bit. Outer Boston Harbor is a good bet for inshore Cod fishing without having to head out 25 miles to Stellwaggen Bank.
Try Buzzards Bay on a decent day as well for some hold over Fluke and still some Sea Bass. Mashnee Flats would be a good place to try for that action.
I also talked to a friend that's getting some Totaug action in RI in and around Narragansett Bay.
Let me know if you need more specifics on some Cod locations around Boston Harbor. Me and macojoe are hoping for a break in the weather to get out for some Cod soon. If it happens, maybe we can get together. That way you'd at least have another boat in the area in case trouble arises.
