Any perticular reason for launching in Ipswich?

Gloucester has one of the best ramps on the north shore with easy access to Ipswich Bay traveling north on the Anniquam River or direct out of the harbor to some of the best fishing on the east coast. It is only 12 miles to the NW corner from the Gloucester breakwater approx. 30- 45 minutes depending on speed. And it is only 7 miles to the beginning of Jeffries.

To get to Stellwagon(middlebank) you will go approximately 155 degrees from the Gloucester beakwater

Best place for those of you that launch and go to Stellwagen, Scituate.
17 miles to the north, 17 miles to the south.
Decent ramp, quick ride out of the harbor and it's free $

The ramp in Newbury is for residents only.

i'm staying up there for a few days
