Fishing in Mashpee, Massachusetts, United States

I go fishing at Centerville harbor whenever I can. I always do ONSHORE fishing, so I'm not so sure about the fish that are deeper. I use a basic uglystick pole with a fairly heavy weight. For bait, I use squid strips. This bait has caught me just about every type of fish in the harbor, so no artificial lures are needed. Go at high tide. if you are a good caster, you can get your bait far enough out to catch 7 or 8 different species of fish. While fishing here, I've caught Scup, Bluefish, sea robin, north Atlantic pufferfish, northern kingfishers, summer fluke/flounder. Though I haven't caught one, it is possible to catch strippers. I use a slow retrieve method while fishing. Yesterday, I went fishing in miserable conditions here. IN TWO HOURS, I CAUGHT 16 DIFFERENT FISH. Please try this beach if you want to fish onshore.

Micropterus salmoides ( largemouth bass) are heavily settled in this body of water. I believe this is due to a very young age of the matured. microscopic bass hidden in Shallow water seeming at ease with structure. Curious little guys. The panfish are very finicky and picky. Good bass fishing. In summer months with soft plastics. They seem overwhelmed by chatterbaits, crankbaits and plugs. Senko worms on size 7 bass hooks wacky rigged does the trick. Late afternoon and very early mornings is the best timeline. Overall a good bass fishing pond.
