When it comes to cod, the first thing that comes to most people’s minds is offshore deepwater fishing.
While most successful cod fishing takes place in cold, deepwater grounds, there are oases closer to shore that provide pretty reliable fishing if you know what to look for.
When conditions are right (and when the small cod season window is open to recreational anglers) it’s worth giving this historic Cape Cod fishery a shot!

About the author
Has anyone caught cod inshore on the south side of the Cape or Buzzards Bay?
I’ve heard about occasional catches out by Sow and Pigs Reef off Cuttyhunk and off Westport, but I haven’t heard of any catches recently in Upper Buzzard’s Bay or in the Sounds.
Wow! Congratulations on a great catch!
Thank you! It’s worth all the effort for such an iconic fish
That is absolutely fascinating! Thanks for posting this excellent information.
Thank you! I appreciate it I hope it helps others succeed with this inshore fishery we have!
