Whether you're casting into Cape Cod's flats, working the channels around Martha's Vineyard, or fishing the Connecticut River valley, the state's geography shapes what swims where and when. Understanding local seasons, tides, and regulations helps you fish smarter and bring home fish worth cooking.
