Although everyone probably feels they have some of the best fishing on their doorstep, nowhere
is this especially truer than the south shore. When you combine the amount of different species
with the potential size, quantity of fish, and accessibility, the south shore of Massachusetts
just can't be beat.
Whether it be freshwater fishing for species such as pickerel, bass, perch, and catfish, or saltwater
fishing for cod, striped bass, bluefish, and flounder, the variety of fish that can be caught
easily on the waters of the south shore is amazing. In fact, it has been my experience that the
average resident of the south shore has no idea just how many different kinds of fish there are
swimming in the waters that they drive by every day.
For those of you that yearn to know what different fish there are, as well as some tips on the
correct gear and methods used to catch them, the Fish section of this web site is for you.
Not only are all the fish listed available, but it is only a listing of those that I have
personally caught - meaning there are even more fish available than I list!
For the ease of use, I have broken up the different species by freshwater and saltwater
varities. For those fish that can be found in both salt and fresh, they are listed on both
sections.
