As of November 3rd, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard remains vibrant despite the late fall season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

### Tidal and Weather Conditions
Today, the sunrise is at 6:23 AM, and the sunset will be at 4:23 PM. The tides are moderate, with the high tide at 8:47 AM and the low tide at 2:53 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle northeast breeze, making it a comfortable day for fishing.

### Fish Activity
The fall migration is still in full swing, with striped bass and bluefish being the main attractions. Yesterday saw consistent reports of stripers pushing bait along the big waters of Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay. The bass are primarily schoolies up to 26 inches, with some larger fish caught in the estuaries using eels.

### Types and Amounts of Fish
Striped bass are abundant, particularly in the surf and estuaries. Tautog fishing has been excellent, with several fish in the teens landed recently. Bonito are still present, although their numbers are thinning out, and some bluefish are mixed in with the bass.

### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, using large lures such as wakebaits and swimbaits at night has been productive. Soft plastics, metals, and mid-size topwaters are also recommended. Live eels and plugs like Hogy Originals and Jumpin Minnows have been successful for both bass and bluefish. For tautog, using crabs or clams on smaller pieces of structure has yielded good results.

### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is the area around the Cape Cod Canal, particularly the west end, where tautog fishing has been very good. The outer beaches of Martha's Vineyard, especially those facing Vineyard Sound, are seeing a lot of bass activity. The salt ponds around the island are also producing schoolies and small bluefish.

Overall, it's a great time to be fishing on Martha's Vineyard, with plenty of action from various species and favorable conditions. Make sure to bundle up as the mornings are getting chilly, but the fishing is well worth it.
