Cod Fishing in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is one of the top destinations for Cod fishing on the Northeast coast. Classic cold-water groundfish of the Gulf of Maine, Stellwagen Bank and Alaska, jigged over deep structure, making Massachusetts's waters an ideal habitat during peak season.
Best Time to Go: Cod fishing in Massachusetts typically peaks May to October. Gulf of Maine cod is tightly limited. Many trips target haddock and pollock instead. See the Massachusetts fishing calendar.
What to Expect: Most Massachusetts charter trips targeting Cod run 4–8 hours and include all tackle, bait, and fishing licenses. Bring sunscreen, snacks, and a cooler for your catch. Captains on Unreel are not charged commissions, so 100% of your payment goes to the captain.
