ACCESS

GETTING THERE: Park at the Fairhaven terminal lot off Harris Avenue and walk out to the public west-side railing, which is the only portion open to anglers. Access can be restricted around ferry sailings, so fish the quieter hours and work an incoming tide.
HOW IT'S FISHED: Bottom rig with shrimp or worm baits off the rail
