    "Late Season Fishing on Martha's Vineyard: Tides, Tactics, and Hotspots for Stripers, Tautog, and Albies"

    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.

    Late Fall Fishing on Martha's Vineyard: Challenges and Opportunities in the Shoulder Season

    As of November 23, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is still active, though the late fall season brings its own set of challenges and opportunities. ### Weather and Tidal Conditions Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 50°F and a low of 40°F. The winds are moderate, coming in from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tides are crucial for fishing here; today's high tide is at 9:37 AM and the low tide at 3:47 PM. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and sunset is at 4:14 PM, providing ample time for both early morning and late afternoon fishing sessions. ### Fish Activity Despite the cooler weather, there is still significant fish activity. Striped bass, although scarce, can be found in the skinny waters of the creeks and marshes, particularly on the south side of the island. They are taking small soft plastics and can be caught early in the morning or late in the afternoon[2]. Tautog (blackfish) are another species that are active, especially in deeper waters when conditions allow. Anglers have been catching keepers from shore in areas like Woods Hole and in Nantucket Sound. Green crabs, though not readily available at all tackle shops, remain the best bait for tautog[2]. ### Best Lures and Bait For striped bass, small soft plastics and lures like Hogy Originals and surface lures such as Jumpin Minnows are effective. For tautog, green crabs are the go-to bait, but clams and mussels can also work. ### Hot Spots - **Woods Hole**: Known for its tautog fishing from shore, this area has seen consistent catches this week. - **Vineyard Sound**: This area has breaking fish, likely albies or bonito, though they may be too far out for shore fishing. However, it's a good spot to check for striped bass and other species. - **Nantucket Sound**: Anglers with boats are picking up keeper tautog here, and schoolies can be found in the rips off Monomoy[2]. Overall, while the fishing is not as prolific as in the peak summer months, there are still plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of species on Martha's Vineyard. Be prepared for the cooler weather and changing tides, and you might just find yourself reeling in a nice catch.

    "Late Fall Fishing Frenzy on Martha's Vineyard: Stripers, Blackfish, and More"

    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene on Martha's Vineyard is quite active despite the late fall 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 changes are crucial for targeting the right spots, especially for striped bass and blackfish. **Weather:** The weather is a bit windy, which is typical for this time of year. However, the short windows of good weather have been yielding some great catches. Temperatures are cool, with a light chill in the air, making it perfect for layering up and spending the day on the water. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise is at 6:30 AM, and sunset is at 4:15 PM. These times are ideal for catching striped bass, as they tend to be more active during the early morning and late afternoon. **Fish Activity:** Yesterday saw a good number of striped bass moving into the tidal rivers and estuaries. These fish are feeding on peanut bunker, silversides, and late-running mullet. The striped bass have been a mix of schoolies and some larger keeper-sized fish, particularly in areas like the Housatonic River and around the beaches from Niantic to Saybrook, although the latter is a bit further off the island[2][3]. Blackfish (tautog) are also a hot target right now, with a steady increase in bigger fish reported from the Elizabeths to Fishers Island. Anglers targeting blackfish have been successful in the 35 to 45-foot range, using smaller baits and light line[1][2]. **Best Lures and Bait:** For striped bass, smaller baits such as 5- and 7-inch Duratech soft jerkbaits, 1-ounce EXO jigs, and 5-inch paddletails have been getting the most attention. Live eels and soft plastics like Hogy Originals are also effective, especially during nighttime fishing[1][4]. For blackfish, using smaller baits and light line is key. Anglers have been successful with clams, mussels, and crabs. **Hot Spots:** - The Menemsha jetties are a great spot for catching striped bass and bluefish. The area around the jetties tends to hold a lot of baitfish, attracting larger predators. - The waters around Cuttyhunk and Block Island have been producing good catches of striped bass and blackfish. These areas are known for their strong tidal currents, which bring in a variety of fish species[2][5]. Overall, Martha's Vineyard is offering some excellent late-season fishing opportunities. Make sure to dress warmly and take advantage of the short windows of good weather to maximize your chances of a successful day on the water.

For tautog, using crabs or clams as bait is recommended. If you're targeting bass in the freshwater ponds, small- to mid-size lipless crankbaits, swimbaits, and finesse soft plastics are working well. Nightcrawlers and shiners are also good for bass and trout in the kettle lakes[1][2]. **Hot Spots:** - **Vineyard Sound:** This area has been seeing surface feeds of stripers, bluefish, and bonito. - **Elizabeth Islands:** Known for tautog and mixed schools of bonito and bluefish. - **Buzzards Bay:** Good for tautog fishing, especially in deeper waters around 30 to 40 feet. - **Freshwater Ponds:** Kettle lakes around the island are producing good bass and trout fishing.
