Bait Intel
The Herring have arrived and are starting to fill out most runs in Massachusetts. The Cape, south coast are heavy and the north shore is not far behind.
Inshore Intel
No reports of boats chasing bass to report. Massachusetts conseded to the NMFS and removed the 1 Cod bag limit for state waters (withing 3nm from shore) so there is not alot of inshore fishing happening right now.
With water temperatures between 42-43 degrees there is not much of a flounder bite happening yet.
Offshore Intel
Haddock bite up until today continues to be most steady on NW Corner of the bank and middlebank. Seems like the large biomass has yet to be found.
