Fishing around Gloucester Mass

Hi all, going to be in Gloucester this weekend for a wedding and may have an hour or two here and there to wet a line. I have googled around the internet and haven't been able to find much information. Anyone have any suggestions for shore fishing? I won't have the time to hire a guide or rent a boat. I assume stripers are the typical target but I am really open to catching anything. Any suggestions for locations, rods/lines, flies ect would be greatly appreciated. I have 8 and 9 weight single handers with floating and sinking lines.

Thanks!

Awesome guys, appreciate the info. I definitely won't have more than an hour or two to get away, so a guide is not in the cards. That and I just got back from the keys where guides have become extremely expensive (that's a whole other story).

Am I correct in thinking that this is mostly a low light (either very early or after dark) game, or do I have a chance at anything during the day?
