13 DIC. 2024 · As of December 13, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is quite active despite the late season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Tidal Report
Today, the first high tide is at 10:45 AM, and the next high tide will be at 11:19 PM. The first low tide was at 4:28 AM, and the next low tide will be at 5:15 PM. The tidal coefficient is average, around 57, indicating moderate tidal movements[2][4].
### Weather and Daylight
Sunrise today is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:13 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 18 minutes of daylight. The weather has been cold, which is typical for this time of year, but it hasn't deterred the fish from biting.
### Fish Activity
Striped bass are still active in the waters around Martha's Vineyard, particularly during their seasonal migrations. You can find schoolie to over-slot stripers feeding on the beaches and in the surf. Tautog (blackfish) are also chewing well, especially around inshore structures where they are feeding on crabs[1][3].
### Catches
Yesterday, anglers reported catching striped bass, with some schoolies and over-slot fish being landed. Tautog up to 17 pounds were also caught, particularly by bottom bouncers targeting inshore structures. Bluefish and the occasional bonito or false albacore were also spotted in areas like Squibnocket Bight and West Chop[1][3].
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, using lures like jigs and plugs that mimic squid, bunker, or sand eels can be very effective. For tautog, crabs are the go-to bait, as they are currently on a crab-crunching chew. If you're targeting bluefish, metal jigs or spoons can work well[1][3].
### Hot Spots
- **Moshup Beach**: Located on the southwestern tip of Martha's Vineyard, this beach is renowned for its striped bass fishing. The varied shoreline offers excellent opportunities to catch these feisty fish.
- **Squibnocket Bight**: This scenic stretch of shoreline is a hotspot for striped bass, bluefish, and occasional bonito or false albacore. The natural beauty and abundant fish populations make it a versatile destination for anglers[3].
Overall, Martha's Vineyard continues to offer exciting fishing opportunities even in the late season. Make sure to check the weather forecast and tidal charts before you head out, and don't hesitate to try different lures and baits to see what works best for you.

12 DIC. 2024 · As of December 12, 2024, fishing on Martha's Vineyard is presenting some challenges due to the cold weather, but there are still some great opportunities for those willing to brave the elements.
First, let's look at the tidal and solar conditions. Today, sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:13 PM, giving us about 9 hours and 18 minutes of daylight. The tidal coefficient is average, with high tides at 10:45 AM and 11:19 PM, and low tides at 4:28 AM and 5:15 PM[2][4].
The weather is quite chilly, with morning air temperatures cold enough to freeze fishing guides, so it's crucial to time your outings carefully. Try to fish during the early afternoon when the sun is still out to avoid the worst of the cold.
For saltwater fishing, the options are somewhat limited this time of year. The migratory stripers have mostly left, and tautog are moving into deeper waters. However, you can still find some mackerel in the east end of the Canal, and there are reports of winter holdover stripers in some of the rivers and salt ponds. White perch are also active in brackish creeks and ponds[1].
For freshwater fishing, largemouth and smallmouth bass, as well as chain pickerel, are active. Recently, a 3.5-pound brown trout was caught on a nightcrawler floated off the bottom, and some quality largemouth bass have been caught on the Upper Cape by using Jon boats and Bass Raiders to tuck into corners[1].
When it comes to lures and bait, nightcrawlers and bass lures are effective for freshwater species. For saltwater, using jigs for cod, pollock, or Acadian redfish can be productive if you can find a boat still in the water.
Some of the best hot spots on Martha's Vineyard include Moshup Beach, known for its striped bass, although they are less common this time of year. Great Rock Bight is another excellent spot, with its varied underwater terrain making it ideal for catching striped bass, fluke, and bluefish, though these species are less active in December. West Chop is also a good option, with its rocky shoreline and sandy stretches attracting a variety of fish[3].
In summary, while the cold weather presents some challenges, there are still opportunities to catch a variety of fish on Martha's Vineyard. Timing your outings during the warmer parts of the day and choosing the right lures and bait can make for a successful fishing trip.

8 DIC. 2024 · Today, December 8, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is quite different from the peak summer months, but there are still some exciting opportunities for anglers.
### Tidal and Weather Conditions
As of today, the tidal conditions at Squibnocket Point are as follows: Low Tide at 5:57 AM with 0.35 ft, High Tide at 12:16 PM with 2.79 ft, and another Low Tide at 6:41 PM with 0.16 ft[5]. The weather is expected to be cool, typical for this time of year, with sunrise at 6:56 AM and sunset at 4:13 PM.
### Fish Activity
While the summer species like striped bass, bluefish, and bonito have largely migrated out, there are still some holdover stripers and other species active in the waters. Holdover stripers are often found in the rivers and salt ponds, feeding on large squid and other baitfish[4].
### Recent Catches
Yesterday, anglers reported catching some holdover stripers in the rivers and salt ponds. There were also reports of tautog, cod, and sea bass being caught in deeper waters, around 70 feet, where they are feeding on crabs and other bottom dwellers[4].
### Best Lures and Bait
For holdover stripers, using lures that mimic their natural prey such as squid or sand eels can be effective. Jigging with metal jigs or using soft plastic lures like curly tail grubs can produce bites. For bottom fishing, using crab or clam baits for tautog and cod is highly recommended.
### Hot Spots
If you're looking to catch some of these late-season fish, consider heading to Squibnocket Bight or Great Rock Bight. Squibnocket Bight is known for its diverse fish populations and the varied underwater terrain that attracts striped bass, bluefish, and even the occasional bonito or false albacore[3]. Great Rock Bight, with its rocky outcrops and sandy stretches, is another prime spot for catching striped bass, fluke, and bluefish.
While the fishing may not be as vibrant as during the summer, Martha's Vineyard still offers some great opportunities for those willing to brave the cooler weather. Good luck out there

7 DIC. 2024 · If you're planning to head out fishing on Martha's Vineyard today, December 7, 2024, here's what you need to know:
First, let's look at the tides. Today, the high tide is at 3:17 AM with 8.04 feet, and the low tide is at 9:23 AM with 1.32 feet. The next high tide will be at 3:29 PM with 8.84 feet, and the low tide at 9:57 PM with 0.25 feet[2].
The weather is quite chilly, with a temperature of around 30°F and an apparent temperature of 22°F due to the wind chill. Expect partly cloudy conditions with a wind speed of 24 MPH coming from the northwest[4].
Sunrise today is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:13 PM.
Despite the cold weather, fishing has been quite good in the area. However, it's important to note that the striped bass action is largely done for the year, as reported by local tackle shops[1].
For those still looking to catch some fish, there are other species to target. Tautog, cod, and sea bass are active in deeper waters, and you might find some holdover stripers in the rivers and salt ponds. Squid, bunker, and sand eels are good baits to use, especially for stripers and other bottom-dwellers[5].
If you're into surfcasting, Moshup Beach and Great Rock Bight are excellent spots. Moshup Beach, located on the southwestern tip of Martha's Vineyard, offers a chance to catch striped bass, although it's late in the season. Great Rock Bight, with its rocky outcrops and sandy stretches, is a hidden gem for catching striped bass, fluke, and bluefish[3].
For bait, consider using squid, bunker, or sand eels, which are currently fueling the bite for many species. Jigs and lures that mimic these baits can also be effective.
Overall, while the striped bass season is winding down, there are still plenty of other fish to target, and the right bait and lures can make all the difference. Stay warm and good luck on the water

### Best Lures and Bait
For pollock, using small jigs or bait such as clams or squid can be effective. For smelt, small hooks with tiny baits like tiny jigs or even small pieces of shrimp can work well.
### Hot Spots
- **Local Estuaries**: These areas are seeing smelt activity, which can be a good target for freshwater and light tackle anglers.
- **Headboats**: If you're looking to catch pollock, joining a headboat trip could be a good option.
Despite the cold and the end of the striped bass season, there are still some fish to be caught around Martha's Vineyard. Dress warmly, and be prepared for the changing weather conditions. Good luck on the water

1 DIC. 2024 · As of December 1, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is wrapping up the season with some notable activities, despite the challenging conditions seen in recent months.
### Weather and Tides
Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tides are crucial; the high tide is at 9:37 AM and the low tide at 3:14 PM. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish behavior.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 6:47 AM, and sunset will be at 4:13 PM, providing a decent window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.
### Fish Activity
The recent Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby concluded with lower catch numbers compared to previous years, but there are still fish to be found. Striped bass, although fewer in number, are still active, particularly in areas like Great Point, Coatue, and the south shore where deeper moving water is present. Bluefish have been scarce from shore but can still be caught by boaters in areas like the eastern edges of Nantucket Shoals.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Yesterday, anglers reported catching a few striped bass, mostly in the 20-30 inch range, and some bluefish. The bonito catch has been more consistent, with several smaller bonito caught from the shore. False albacore (albies) have been elusive this season, but dedicated anglers might still find them in the early morning hours.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, topwater plugs like the Island X Hellfire 180 are effective in the early morning. Using heavy metal lures with a slow, straight retrieve can also attract bass and bluefish in the deeper waters. For bluefish, traditional jigs and bucktails work well. Bait-wise, squid and sand eels have been attracting bass on the eastern edges of Nantucket Shoals.
### Hot Spots
- **Great Point**: Known for its consistent bass and bluefish action, especially in the early morning.
- **Coatue and South Shore**: These areas offer deeper moving water that attracts striped bass and bluefish.
- **Eastern Edges of Nantucket Shoals**: This area has seen active bass feeding on squid and sand eels.
While the season is winding down, there's still time to catch some fish before the winter sets in. Be prepared for the cooler weather and changing tidal conditions, and you might just land a few nice ones. Happy fishing

30 NOV. 2024 · As of November 30, 2024, the fishing scene around Martha's Vineyard is wrapping up the fall season with some promising catches despite the challenging weather.
### Weather and Tides
Today, expect a mix of wind and rain, making conditions less than ideal for saltwater fishing. The winds are strong, and the rain will continue through the weekend. Sunrise is at 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at 4:08 PM. Tides are moderate, with high tide at 8:47 AM and low tide at 2:53 PM.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw some activity in the saltwater, although it was limited due to the weather. Stripers are still present but scarce, particularly in the skinny waters of the south side beaches and backwaters. They can be caught using small soft plastics in the creeks and marshes, but it's tough to get them to bite once they've been spooked[2].
Tautog are another option, but they are mostly congregating around deeper structures in 50 feet of water or more. If you're lucky, you might encounter some albies blitzing in open water, although this is less common this late in the season[2].
### Freshwater Fishing
Given the poor saltwater conditions, freshwater fishing is a better bet. Largemouth bass and pickerel are active in the freshwater ponds and can be caught using suspending jerkbaits and ned rigs. Stocked trout in the kettle ponds are also a reliable catch on bait, lures, or flies[1].
### Best Lures and Bait
For stripers, use small soft plastics in the creeks and marshes. For tautog, epoxy jigs or small soft plastics are recommended. In freshwater, suspending jerkbaits and ned rigs work well for bass and pickerel, while bait, lures, or flies are effective for trout.
### Hot Spots
- **South Side Beaches**: Early morning and late evening are the best times to catch stripers in these areas.
- **Woods Hole**: Tautog have been caught from shore here recently.
- **Kettle Ponds**: These are great spots for catching stocked trout and active bass and pickerel.
If you're looking to get out today, consider the brief weather window in the morning for tautog or pivot to freshwater fishing to keep your rods bent. Happy Thanksgiving, and stay safe on the water

29 NOV. 2024 · As of November 29, 2024, the fishing scene around Martha's Vineyard is quite active despite the late season. Here’s what you need to know:
### Tidal Report
The tides are running strong, with high tide expected around 10:30 AM and low tide at 4:30 PM. These tidal shifts are crucial for targeting the right spots.
### Weather
The weather is cooling down, with daytime temperatures dropping significantly. This change is pushing fish into their wintering patterns, but there's still plenty of action to be had.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at about 6:45 AM, and sunset is around 4:15 PM. These times are ideal for catching fish during their most active periods.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good amount of fish activity, particularly with striped bass moving into the tidal rivers and estuaries. These bass are feeding on peanut bunker, silversides, and late-running mullet. Blackfish (tautog) are also present, especially in areas like the "ditch" near the canal, where anglers who know the spots are catching legal-sized fish.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Striped bass, including schoolies and some larger fish, are being caught in good numbers. Blackfish are also plentiful, with some double-digit fish reported in the deeper waters. Additionally, there have been reports of false albacore and bonito in the area, although these are less common this late in the season.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, large soft plastics, darters, and plastic swimmers are effective. For blackfish, using crabs or clams on a Rock Bottom jig, especially in depths of 40 to 100 feet, has been successful. For those targeting the remaining bonito and false albacore, small jigs and metal lures work well.
### Hot Spots
- The canal, particularly the east end and the Sandwich docks, is a hot spot for catching schoolies and the occasional larger striped bass.
- The "ditch" near the canal is good for blackfish, but be careful to avoid losing your sinker to the rocks.
- The tidal rivers and estuaries from Buzzards Bay to Long Island Sound are seeing a noticeable movement of striped bass.
Overall, Martha's Vineyard is offering some great late-season fishing opportunities, especially for those willing to brave the cooler weather. Make sure to check the tidal reports and adjust your fishing spots accordingly to maximize your catch.

24 NOV. 2024 · As of November 24, 2024, the fishing scene around Martha's Vineyard is quite active, despite the late season. Here’s what you need to know:
**Tidal Report:**
Tides are crucial for fishing around the Vineyard. Today, low tide is at around 9:30 AM and high tide at 3:30 PM. These tidal shifts can bring in fresh bait and activate the fish.
**Weather:**
The weather is mild, with temperatures in the mid-50s and a light southwest breeze. This is ideal for fishing, as it keeps the water relatively calm and warm.
**Sunrise and Sunset:**
Sunrise is at 6:42 AM, and sunset is at 4:14 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.
**Fish Activity:**
Striped bass are still active in the skinny waters, particularly in the creeks and marshes across the south side of the island. They are feeding on small bait like peanuts, spearing, and herring fry. However, they can be finicky, so patience is key[3].
Tautog (blackfish) are also a hot target, especially in deeper waters. Anglers have been catching keeper tautog when conditions allow them to get out. Look for them around structures like rocks and jetties[3][4].
Albies (false albacores) have been spotted blitzing in Vineyard Sound, although they can be elusive. Keep an eye out for breaking fish and gulls to locate them[3].
**Best Lures and Bait:**
For stripers, small soft plastics and topwater plugs are effective. Tautog are best caught using crabs, clams, or mussels. If you're after albies, use albie jigs or small metal lures.
**Hot Spots:**
- **Middle Ground and Hedge Fence:** These areas are known for striped bass activity, especially around squid and gull activity[2].
- **Woods Hole:** This spot has been producing tautog from shore, and it's also a good place to look for stripers in the backwaters[3].
- **Vineyard Sound:** Keep an eye out here for albies and bonito, especially where you see breaking fish and gulls[3].
Overall, it's a good time to get out there and enjoy the late-season fishing on Martha's Vineyard. Be prepared for variable fish behavior, but the right spots and lures can make all the difference.
