Duxbury Beach is a long barrier beach that runs south to the Gurnet, the point guarding the mouth of Plymouth Bay. The open beach offers classic surf, but the real draw is the strong current where the bay drains past the Gurnet and Saquish, a natural funnel for bait and bass.
The spots
Fish the open beach for cruising fish, and concentrate on the Gurnet and the bay mouth, where current sweeps bait past structure. The moving tide here is everything.
How to fish it
At the point, fish soft plastics and jigs in the current, and swing them through the seams like you would in a rip. On the open beach, plugs and metals at low light. Match sand eels and herring.
Tip Fish the strong tide at the Gurnet like a rip: position up-current, let your lure swing naturally through the seam, and target the down-current edge where bass hold and ambush the bait.
