Commercial fishermen in Buzzards Bay, Cape Cod use specialized equipment like Alios 400 rods with 20 lb braid and jigging rods to target species including scup, tautog, fluke, and black sea bass, facing challenges such as slow fishing conditions, changing size limits (e.g., black sea bass limits dropping to 15 and 12 inches), and economic pressures that make successful fishing trips essential for their livelihood.
