January is a great time for Flounder fishing in Boston, with Tautog and Halibut also willing to bite. If you want to embrace the cold, the annual L Street Brownies swim could be great fun, if you don't mind the freezing water.

The bitter cold isn't giving up just yet, but that shouldn't discourage you. If you catch a nice clear day, head out to target Pollock, Haddock, and Halibut, or stay in the harbor to fish for Flounder.

The winter Flounder bite calms down in March, but there are much bigger Flatfish offshore. Target Halibut on a full day trip and you'll also reel in some tasty Haddock and Pollock. Better empty the freezer!

Spring is here, and that means that it's only a matter of days before the first Stripers start showing up around Boston Harbor. The Tautog bite is still going strong, and a few miles from shore, Haddock isn't bad either.

May kicks off the summer fishing season with spring Stripers swarming the shallows and big Bluefish in the bay. Fluke are also in season and make for some of the best eating around. The fishing is getting better with each passing day.

The offshore action finally gets going with the arrival of the first Bluefin Tuna. Stellwagen Bank is at its best in early summer, before the waters get too warm. When you're not battling Tuna, test your strength against Sharks and big bottom fish.

This is one of the best months to get a taste of prime Boston fishing! July is a great time for Shark and Tuna fishing, and inshore, the bays are full of Cow Stripers. Local Fourth of July celebrations are incredible, too.

Whatever you'd like to target and catch, you should try it in August! The weather is hot and so is the action, with Stripers, Bluefish, Tautog, and Mackerel biting left and right inshore, and Tuna, Sharks, Haddock, Pollock, and more on the menu offshore.

Pretty much every major species is still out and about in September. Sharks, Tuna, Stripers, Bluefish, Fluke, Tautog – the hardest part will be choosing what to target! And whatever you choose, chances are you won't be disappointed.

The fall is in full swing, and fishing remains excellent. Bear in mind that species like Black Seabass and Haddock might have closed seasons in October, but bottom fish, Stripers, Tuna, and Sharks are still biting offshore.

Big game dreams have to be put on hold as the bluewater bite drops off. There's still great food fishing, though, with winter Flounder, Pollock, Haddock, and Halibut available year-round.

The cold winds from the ocean bring choppy waters and offshore fishing comes to a stop in December. From shore, you can get your hands on flatties like Fluke and Halibut, as well as some Tautog.
