ok, first you'll have to get at castle island before or at high tide low will only produce skates if even that. sea worms is ya can get em, and clams are both the best baits i think. also try the nut island pier in quincy, if yoo have a map just look just west of peddocks island and there it is. ive caught many cod off this pier. the last time i went i got skunked but there was 50mph winds, waves broke over the pier every now and then. i use a regular one hook bait rig, just like a high low rig just one hook, the fishfinder is also very good. i tend to use some heavy weights over there, 4-6oz being the best. cast straight off the end of the pier for the best results. i have a chart and in casting range you can hit 50ft so you shouldnt have any problem with getting depth like you would have at castle island. deer island should also be a good spot because that pier is about 300yards from 70- 95 ft depths. also ask the guy at foreriver he knows EVERYTHING about the area. im probally going after christmas at nut island ill tell you if i get anything.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.
