I went through that once and discovered that salt water fishing in the Boston area is a whole new ball game. Lots of things to read up on and discover from local tackle shops and too much to relate here. One thing to point out though... "sea worms" are pretty unique baits to that area and the stripers love them drifted in the outgoing tide. I had good luck virtually anywhere a river feeds into the ocean, especially the south side of Cape Code. North of the city is good for that too. A wide variety of saltwater fish like squid and clams too. The best advice is to get out there and see how others are succeeding, ask questions and enjoy learning. Best of luck!
