Looking for a new place to fish

I know I asked before but now I'm serious! I'm getting tired of hauling my boat from central Mass to Truro every weekend. I'm looking to put it at either Weymouth or Westport. Both closer to home than I presently travel. Any recommendations or words of wisdom for either one? I've never fished Boston Harbor but want to. I'd be putting in an aluminum 18 foot deep-v with a 90 HP with minimal draft. I'd prefer a ramp in decent shape and also a ramp where there is a chance for my truck to still be there at the end of the night. Thanks all.

I have used Weymouth ramp. Nice ramp but at a very low tide there was minimal water and I couldn't get in. I have a friend who uses westport ramp on a regular basis and never had a problem there. Both are fairly nice ramps. Weymouth is five bucks I'm not sure about the cost od westport.

I don't know if you have ever tried the north shore but there is also a very nice ramp in Gloucester.......

Pick up some charts of the areas you wanna fish and look.

Trust me, its not hard to find spots that might hold fish...
Its all a crapshoot, and on a boat, you have the ability to move spots quicklike...

Its right behind the high school. You take 128 N till the first rotary. The first exit off the rotary is Washington Street, which you take, then its a right not to far up called centennial. Follow to emerson (right) and follow to the ramp. It only takes about 3 minutes from 128. Look it up on Mapquest.....easy to get to....

Right now the harbor (boston) is filled with bait and gamefish.
Mix of bass and blues. Saturday my buddy at my marina went out coddin, but saw huge schools of fish, birds all over them for miles. Just outside the inner islands.

I'm going tomorrow...
