Lots of marinas have rules about cleaning fish at the dock. Depending on whether its a big time fishing marina or pleasure boat spot. Generally everyone seems to like to crowd around a cooler with a few fish in it, but the minute you pull out the filet knife some sailor is sprinting up the ramp to the dockmaster's office.

I would

Launch your boat on a day where you can be there for hi and low tide. That way you can adjust your lines for the change in the tide. Best of luck.

Fishing is life, the rest is just details

I think it depends a lot on where - think I am at $90 per foot on the Merrimack River.

I also will recommend that depending on where you want to keep the boat, that you find a spot BEFORE buying. Have heard horror stories of people buying and then not being able to get a slip. I think the Newburyport, MA area is pretty booked.

got fish?
