Striped Bass Fishing in Harwich Port

What sets Harwich Port apart is its proximity to deep channels and strong currents that attract and hold baitfish, and subsequently, stripers. The best times are spring and fall, coinciding with the migration of bass along the coast. Focus your efforts around the mouth of the Saquatucket Harbor and along the Monomoy Island shoals. A practical tip is to utilize a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as the stripers are never far behind.
