When I first started surfcasting (1970s time frame) we would catch pollock mixed in the schools of stripers at the end of the season - generally mid November to December. Fish were decent size up to 10 pounds and hit plugs but they really liked a small white bucktail. This fishery slowly went downhill to catching harbor sized pollock up to 2 lbs or so, then disappeared altogether. Been quite a few years since we've caught shore pollock here in Rhody, maybe they're on the rebound but now there is a size limit - maybe 19 inches? That size would be tough to find from shore. The harbors were very good pan fried.
