Can anyone recommend decent spots for shore fishing on the north shore? I'll probably be taking my kids with me (ages 7 & 5). I tried chebacco for the 1st time last night - ended up in a camp ground (camp menorah?). Probably shouldn't have been there. Couldn't find a good publicly accessible shore location.
Also, tips on what to use for bait would be appreciated. I haven't fished freshwater in many many years.
Thanks

Fernwood Lake in Gloucester might be worth a try, only fished there once, but it seemed to have some decent openings to make casts. It's off 133 and you have to park somewhere near the plastic factory, the pond is behind it.
I saw a guy fishing with his kids at Putnamville Reservoir in Danvers, they were catching a bunch of sunfish on worms/bobbers. He said there were also bass there. The parking and access are pretty good, I think its off Rt. 35.

I second Putnamville Reservoir. Fish along the breakwall on the eastern side. Lots of rockbass and LMB's. There are also a couple of coves on the southern side that offer panfishing. Quanapowitt is good for perch and bass in Wakefield. I've fished Breakheart Reservation in Saugus right off of route 1 and decent bass and tons of sunnies in there for the kids. Very kid friendly.
