Buzzards Bay lies between Cape Cod and the South Coast, providing sheltered fishing waters with strong tidal currents. The Cape Cod Canal at the bay's northeast corner creates one of the most famous shore-fishing spots in New England.

Striped bass fishing is exceptional, with the canal producing fish over 50 pounds during the spring and fall migrations. Scup and tautog provide excellent bottom fishing around the bay's rocky structure. Fluke fishing on the sandy flats is productive during summer. Multiple harbors and launches along both shores provide easy access.
