Tis’ the Season for Cod Fishing in Massachusetts

Posted by & filed under Boating, Trips.

The Atlantic Cod has held the reputation for being one of the most sought after catches in Massachusetts. Fishermen from all over the country come to Massachusetts for a chance to reel in this amazing fish.   Cod has always been a large contributor to the Massachusetts economy.  In fact, because cod was so plentiful in the waters surrounding Massachusetts, English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold named Cape Cod after the beloved fish in 1602.
