This time of the year they move offshore into much deeper waters 100ft + and it can get pretty rough out there now of course you can still have some FAC days but thier are never on the weekends . Iwould still get some bugs around Dry Salvages until late Dec and with the mild winter so far they may still be there. The other area is the area between Thatchers Island and the south endof tpown ,find the deep water . Connollys in Gloucester is where I got my bait the best for late season bugs was always flounder racks about $5 a bucket
I would hit the end of Bearskin Neck with your field Glasses to look for pots before I put in.
April the inshore fishing starts but so do the damn divers, now to any divers out there I will agree not all divers raid pots BUT a sh** load do. When you watch the bubbles go from pot to pot thats when I wish I had some M80's (sorry about the rant).
Start with the flounder racks and switch over to herring by June. Any of the coves on Cape Ann hold bugs all summer . There are a few good humps outside of Gloucester Har and down Magnolia way . Just watch for the sets so you don't cross anybodys lines and work the edges of the sets and the commercial guys should leave you alone -get in the middle and you could loose a few pots.
#^&#^&#^&#^&ie Winchesters in Gloucester has all the gear you could use should you need to fix or replace anything. Good luck and watch your feet in the lines.
