Know before you go

Fishing in Cape Cod: local notes

Massachusetts splits groundfish rules at Cape Cod: Cape Cod Bay counts as Gulf of Maine, while Nantucket Sound, Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay are Southern New England, so cod, haddock and winter flounder limits depend on which side of the Cape you fish.

Source: mass.gov

Recreational cod retention is prohibited south and west of Cape Cod (Southern New England area) in 2026.

Massachusetts striped bass: 28 to under 31 in slot, 1 fish, and inline circle hooks required when fishing whole or cut natural bait.
