  • I agree that this is a "fishing" site and I do enjoy the stripers but all my fishing is done in Boston Harbor.

  • Definately not just a Freshwater site. Are there more freshwater members, yes. I happen to enjoy both, but no reason to exclude anyone just because something happens to have more of a following.

  • Calm down, dude - no need of shouting. The last post on the bluefish board was last September. There's a total of one flounder post, and that was from two years ago. I'd say that makes this a fresh water site. You're welcome to try to change that, but since there are already at least two forums that specialize in Mass salt water fishing, I doubt you'll have much luck.

  • no.this is NO WAY strictly a "freshwater" site. my crew from down the cape has been pushing this site on me since it was founded.So,if I had to say...it's both .

  • This is a fresh water site, no?

  • This is the single greatest fishing resource in the NorthEast and I'm the 1st one to comment on it.What planet am I from ?

Cape Cod Bay Description

Cape Cod Bay is a large bay of the Atlantic Ocean adjacent to the U.S. state of Massachusetts. It is enclosed by Cape Cod to the south and east, and Plymouth County, Massachusetts, to the west; to the north of Cape Cod Bay lie Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Cape Cod Bay is the southernmost extremity of the Gulf of Maine. Generally, currents in the Bay move in a counter-clockwise fashion, moving south from Boston, to Plymouth then east and then north to Provincetown. Most of Cape Cod is composed of glacially derived rocks, sands, and gravels. The last glaciation ended about 10,000 years BP.[citation needed]During the end of the last glaciation, Cape Cod Bay was probably a large freshwater lake with drainages across Cape Cod in places like Bass River and Orleans Harbor. The Provincetown Spit, i.e., the land north of High Head in North Truro, was formed by marine deposits over the last 5-8,000 years. These deposits created Provincetown Harbor, a large, bowl-shaped section of Cape Cod Bay.
