If it hadn't have been for the Native
Americans who taught the Pilgrims how to
fish, they would not have survived according
to reports. As it was, half the number
perished the first winter. Fishing proved
productive for them, however, and still is for
Plymouth, both charter and commercial.
Visitors come to take a whale watch,
bottom fish for cod, or troll for striper, blue,
tuna and shark.

Haddock, Pollock, Striped Bass, Blue Fish, Tuna and Shark when they go out on half-day and full-day

of them were fit enough or skilled enough to survive in the harsh New England winter. They befriended the
Native Americans at first and the locals showed them how to set traps for fish
