What's Biting at Round Hill Point
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current Mass. DMF regulations before keeping any fish.
Tautog (Blackfish)
Tautoga onitis
Season: Spring and fall, as water warms and cools (check regs)
Baits: Green crabs, Asian shore crabs, Fiddler crabs
Tog live in the rocks and eat crabs. Fish a crab on a short leader tight to the bottom against a jetty, wreck or rock pile, and expect to lose rigs. Slack and slow current make it far easier to keep a bait in the strike zone without snagging.
Striped Bass (Atlantic)
Morone saxatilis
Season: Spring and fall migrations; summer in New England (check regs)
Baits: Live or chunk bunker (menhaden), Clams, Live eels
Stripers feed where moving water pushes bait against structure: inlet mouths, jetty tips, bridge shadows, rips and points. Fish the stronger part of the tide, and dawn, dusk and night, especially in summer. Chunks or clams on the bottom from the beach, eels or swimbaits at night along rocks. Circle hooks on bait; release fish carefully, most of the catch goes back.
Scup (Porgy)
Stenotomus chrysops
Season: Late spring through fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid strips, Clams, Sandworms
Small hooks and small baits on a two-hook rig, on the bottom near rocks, piers and mussel beds. Schools move through with the tide; when one fish bites, others are near. A good fish for kids off a public pier.
Black Sea Bass
Centropristis striata
Season: Late spring through fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid, Clams, Small jigs
A structure fish: rocks, wrecks, reefs, jetties and pilings. Drop a high-low rig or a small jig straight down and keep it just off the bottom. Bigger fish sit deeper; inshore jetties and piers hold plenty of smaller ones.
Summer Flounder (Fluke)
Paralichthys dentatus
Season: Late spring through early fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid strips, Live killifish (minnows), Gulp! swimming mullet
Drift or slowly retrieve a bait along sandy and gravel bottom near channel edges, inlets and drop-offs. Moving water is everything: fluke face into the current and ambush bait, so a slack tide usually means a slow bite. Bounce the bottom and give a second before setting the hook.
