If you plan on fishing the islands, you will need to trailer your boat down to Falmouth. It's a long run to the islands from Wareham anyway and you will not make it back in that boat once the afternoon winds kick up. If you ever been alond stoney dike in the west end of the canal during a west running tide with the wind coming from the west at the same time, you'd wish you were somewhere else. I have done it in a 22 footer and me and the canal patrol boat were the only ones out there, scary. So whatever you do , don't launch in Onset or over by Macos either, use a ramp near the center.

good luck

BTW, by the time you get around to gaining residency in Middleboro, you'll be sick of fishing live herring and fighting the lines.
