Fish - Things are just starting @ PI with schoolie stripers being caught ~ but fishing is sporadic at best. Catching 3 to 6 lb. fish should be solid by your arrival date - although the larger fish will not arrive until early June. Surfland Bait & Tackle is still there on the island and is still run by the same fine folks.

Some other local places you can always try are the Parker River & PI Sound, Beverly Habor, the Danvers River, Halibut State Park @ Cape Ann (Gloucester) and Peaches Point inMarblehead.

Larger fish are to be had @ Boston Harbor, CC Canal and other points south during your stay. If your main quest is for some LARGE fish (for bro-in-law) and you are unfamiliar with the Cape - why not hire a guide? In my opinion it would be $$$ & time well spent.

Good Luck!
