New to Boston Harbor Fishing

[KeyWest225]

Hi All:

I am not looking for any spot burning, just some general boating/fishing information around Boston Harbor and the Islands. I have been trailoring for 3 seasons and have had enough of boat ramps. I am getting a wet slip this summer and plan to spend most of my time in and out of the harbor with my 23 foot cc. Most of my previous fishing was out around Cape Ann-Halibut Point or down the Cape, both the bay and sound sides. The Boston Harbor thing will be totally new to me and my family. Any suggestions, opinions, advice? I know the area holds stripers, blues and fluke but what about cod or any other species? Boat traffic? Strong currents? Navigational hazards? etc.

Any input will be much appreciated.
