Mike you may want to hire a shore guide, they are your best bet.

Check in with a couple of Bait and Tackle shops for options

Welcome Home Mike

You guys do a great job & we support you. Thanks.

I would second what Bob said, for a new comer try getting a shore guide - lots of goods ones are available.
Try the ones near Truro/Wellfleet/Ptown area or treck out to Cuttyhunk. Call ahead and naturally you can check them out on line.

If you want a boat guide they are available also - for both just go into a good tackle shop.

Mike - if you can get down to RI I'll meet up with you and take you fishing. Gladly take someone fishing who's served a country - least we can do...

Couple ?s

What kind of gear do you have?

Preferred style of fishing?

Roughly what part of Mass?

Also would recommend you look at a local saltwater fishing club. Lots of good ones around...

Thank you for your service
