Mr.Kav,
thanks for your downrigger tip, I'll try to give that a shot this year. I used to be a mate on a charter boat out of Quincy in the late 80's, at that time to get a fighting fish we'd have to go out to the "B" bouy and troll towards Minots Lt. to get some blues, we never landed a Striper. I joined the Navy in 1990 and 4 years later the Harbor was full of them. I credit that to the cleanup efforts in the harbor.
A couple of other spots you can launch are behind The Sportsman Den and also behind the Police station (both on the southern artery). I think there is a fee for both.
Like John said earlier get a CHART Boston Harbor is #13270 and If you plan on heading into E. Boston its chart #13272.
Quincy Harbor is fantastic, one of the best fish I got last year took a big yellow plastic shad about a foot off the rocks of Hangmans Island.
Then there is Pedocks Is., Grape Is. Bumkin Is.
Hull Gut, Boston Lt. all have fish and they all have storied history's. Just boating or fishing Boston/Quincy Harbor are tough to beat. Now I've just got to take my boat there.
Good Luck!
-Jim
