  • Fishing the Vineyard: Bonito, Bass, and Bluefish Abound for the 79th Annual Derby

    Fishing the Vineyard: Bonito, Bass, and Bluefish Abound for the 79th Annual Derby
    Oct 3 2024
    As of October 3, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is buzzing with activity, especially with the 79th Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby in full swing. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal Report, Weather, and Daylight
    Today, the sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 6:14 PM, giving you a good window of daylight. The tides are looking favorable, with a high tide at 9:17 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM. The weather forecast indicates a steady southwest breeze, which should improve fishing conditions.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a mix of fish activity around the island. Bonito fishing has been very good, with numerous fish caught very close to home, often right in the harbor. These bonito have been joined by some large false albacore (albies) and bluefish, which is a promising sign for the ongoing derby.

    Striped bass are becoming more active, particularly during the east tide, and many have been described as fat. Anglers have reported catching stripers up to 35 inches using various lures at different levels of the water column.

    Bluefish are also plentiful, especially around the east side of the island. Concentrated schools of bonito and blues have been showing up closer to shore, making spots like Sankaty and the area around Great Point hot for fishing.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bonito and albies, small, tiny baits such as juvenile bay anchovies have been effective. However, due to the sunny conditions, these fish can be challenging to catch. Bubblegum-pink paddletails and epoxy jigs are recommended for targeting these species.

    For striped bass, mackerel, squid, and bunker are providing plentiful forage, making lures that mimic these baits highly effective. Eels, Fish Snax Xls, and needlefish plugs have also been working well for surf fishers.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Sankaty**: Known for its strong bonito and bluefish bite, this area is a must-visit during the derby.
    - **Great Point**: The action around this area is picking up, with good catches of bonito and blues closer to shore.
    - **The Harbor**: Bonito have been abundant here, and it’s a great spot to catch them right at home.

    Overall, Martha's Vineyard is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities right now. With the right lures and knowledge of the tides, you should be able to land some impressive catches. Good luck out there

  • Fishing the Vineyard: Bonito, Albies, and Bluefish Abound on Martha's Vineyard

    Fishing the Vineyard: Bonito, Albies, and Bluefish Abound on Martha's Vineyard
    Oct 2 2024
    As of October 2, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is buzzing with activity. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and the sunset will be at 6:14 PM. The tidal cycle shows a high tide at 9:17 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM. Weather conditions are expected to be partly cloudy with a steady southwest breeze, which should improve fishing conditions.

    ### Fish Activity
    The past few days have seen a mix of fish activity, but things are looking up. Bonito fishing has been very good, with numerous fish caught very close to home, often right in the harbor. Some really big false albacore (albies) and bluefish have also been spotted, which is a promising sign for the ongoing Martha's Vineyard Derby.

    ### Fish Caught
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching several bonito, some of which were quite large. There were also instances of albies popping up, although they remain challenging to catch due to their preference for tiny baits like juvenile bay anchovies. Bluefish are abundant, particularly around the eastern side of the island, with schools concentrated near the beach and around Great Point.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For targeting bonito and albies, using small, shiny lures that mimic their natural prey is key. Bubblegum-pink paddletails and epoxy jigs have been effective. For bluefish, larger lures such as spoons and plugs can work well. Bait-wise, mackerel, squid, and bunker are providing plentiful forage for stripers, so using these or lures that mimic them can be fruitful.

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider are the harbor area around Martha's Vineyard, where bonito and albies have been active, and the eastern side of the island, particularly around Great Point and Sankaty, where bluefish and bonito are concentrated. The Cape side of Vineyard Sound has been quiet, so it's best to focus on the island's waters.

    With the right gear and knowledge of the local conditions, you should have a productive day on the waters of Martha's Vineyard. Good luck, and tight lines

  • Martha's Vineyard Fishing Update: Bonito, Bluefish, and the Pursuit of Elusive Albies

    Martha's Vineyard Fishing Update: Bonito, Bluefish, and the Pursuit of Elusive Albies
    Oct 1 2024
    As of October 1, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is buzzing with activity. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, expect a partly cloudy sky with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle breeze out of the southwest at about 10 mph. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 6:15 PM. Tides are crucial, and today you can expect a high tide at 9:17 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a mix of fish activity, particularly with the ongoing Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby, although striped bass are no longer part of the competition due to size regulations. Bonito fishing remains very good, with many anglers catching them close to home, often right in the harbor. Bluefish are also present, though they have been scarce in some areas. False albacore (albies) continue to be finicky but are starting to show up in larger concentrations, especially around the Elizabeth Islands and eastern Nantucket Sound.

    ### Catches
    Several notable catches were reported yesterday. Bonito were plentiful, with some big albies and bluefish joining the mix. In the shore divisions, anglers like Daniel Strem made significant moves on the leaderboard with a 17-pound bluefish caught from a boat. Stripers, ranging from small schoolies to over-slot size, were gorging on 3- to 6-inch mullet on the ebb tide.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bonito, using small jigs and epoxy lures has been effective. For bluefish, bubblegum-pink paddletails and epoxy jigs are recommended. If you're after albies, tiny baits such as juvenile bay anchovies are what they're eating, but be prepared for a challenge as they are very picky. For stripers, mullet imitations and bunker patterns are working well.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the harbor area around Martha’s Vineyard, where bonito and albies are frequently spotted. The Cape side of Vineyard Sound, although quiet in some areas, can still yield some good catches, especially around the Elizabeth Islands. For shore fishing, the beaches from Bass River to Nobska have seen a concentration of albies, though they can be quite finicky.

    With the weather and tides in your favor, today could be an excellent day to get out on the water and try your luck. Just remember to be patient, especially when targeting those elusive albies. Good luck, and tight lines
