bcherry, your best bet would probably be going out on a "Head Boat "or Party Boat. I believe Massachusetts has opened up the fleet, probably with some restrictions as to number of passengers. There may be places to catch them from the shoreline,but I don't know any. Maybe some Bay Staters can help you out. And please be aware of the Great Whites!!!

Visit Red Top Sporting Goods on Main Street in Buzzards Bay, they have all the local knowledge and are more than willing to share.
Try fishing the cape cod canal for stripers and blues, nothing like it!!
Good luck!!

We call them Scup up here. They are everywhere, sand worms, squid strips, clamnecks, they aren't fussy small hook 1/0, any dock, pier, jetty, break water, u only need 10 feet or so of clear water, clean 1 or two right there and toss out a head on a 6/ 0- 8/ 0 hook and get a bluefish, he will talk about that for the rest of his life !!

last week very abundant skup/porgies at Dowses Beach, Osterville, MA. Must have a Barnstable parking sticker -- this is true many places on Cape. Go to farthest end of parking lot. There is a fishing deck and jetties on either side to allow social distancing. When the tide is moving in or out from West Bay through the narrow channel, the water rushes past the fishing deck just like a fast moving stream. I have even seen fly fisherman wading from the beach about 100 yds left of the fishing deck. Live bait seems to work well. Go to Sports Port, 149 Main St., Hyannis for bait, tackle & tips. Their website <<https://www.sportsport.us/>> says they have a location in Osterville, but I've never been there. You also need a Mass. fishing license <<http://www.mass.gov/marinefisheries>>.
