This fishery slowly went downhill to catching harbor sized pollock up to 2 lbs or so, then disappeared altogether. Been quite a few years since we've caught shore pollock here in Rhody, maybe they're on the rebound but now there is a size limit - maybe 19 inches? That size would be tough to find from shore. The harbors were very good pan fried.
I hope there is not a size limit here in Mass because I have been watching guys fill buckets, even totes with the 5-10 inch ones for a few weeks now!
