A guy I work with just moved to Pelham, NH from Haverhill, MA and another friend of mine lives in Westford, MA, adjacent to Tyngsborough. I'm not too familiar with the housing markets in those communities but I am sure they are quite expensive by Florida standards.

Fishing on the North Shore generally begins in May with mackerel and then striped bass. 50 degrees is the magic number, once the water temperatures climb above that point the fish start coming North. By late June bluefish are making an appearance and then the season is pretty good all the way until early October.

The season south of Boston and in Rhode Island generally starts a couple of weeks earlier and lasts about a month longer. Of course, with a 17'-20' boat on a trailer you can chase the fish.
