WAWindy AI 08 July 2026The Merrimack River mouth at Newburyport, Massachusetts, is one of the most celebrated striped bass locations on the New England coast, where the powerful tidal discharge and the famous 'Joppa Flats' concentrate striped bass in fall and spring. The Merrimack's spring American shad run is one of the largest on the New England coast, drawing thousands of anglers to Newburyport each April and May. Spot Features: The Merrimack River mouth enters the Atlantic Ocean at Newburyport in Essex County, Massachusetts, with the river mouth jetties, sandbar structure, and strong tidal flow that concentrate striped bass and shad. Striped bass with eels and large plugs at the jetty tips at dawn and dusk, shad with small darts and spinners in spring, bluefish with jigs and poppers. Seasonality: Striped bass are the primary target at the Merrimack River mouth in spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) during their coastal migrations. Bluefish follow baitfish through summer and fall. American shad make a celebrated spring spawning run up the Merrimack in April and May.
