Still waiting to hear about bonito! Rumors have been flying around but no confirmed catches yet known.
Bass fishing continues to be sporadic from the beaches. Some surf casters had some stellar nights at the Breach and Wasque Point, while others came up skunked. The north shore of the island is also giving up keeper sized bass, but the schools seem to be very localized in certain coves.
Big bluefish are being caught around the Aquinnah cliffs, Philbin Beach, and Squibnocket. East Beach on Chappy and Vineyard Haven Harbor are also giving up numerous small bluefish day and night.

Tides are good, bait is good, weather is good . . . bass fishing is good. Big fish weiged in at Dick's Bait and Tackle on July 4 . . . 41-pound striped bass caught from the surf. Time to get out there and catch yourself a monster.

Surf fishing is much better on Vineyard shores. Bass and bluefish, and more importantly, the tides have come around. What I mean by the tides is that we don't have to head out 2 am this week so we'll be able to function during the daytime for the next few days.
Darters, bottle plugs and Rapalas have been working well in the rips, while needlefish have been the go to plug for "big surf" spots. There is no shortage of small keeper size bass, and we are now getting reports of bass over 30-pounds, with the occasional 40-pounder being caught. We just weighed in a nice 41-pounder this morning at Dick's Bait and Tackle that was caught from the surf on a plug.
Head on out people and catch'um up before the summer doldrums kick into high gear.

Bass in Menemsha Harbor, bass at the Breech, bass at Squibbnocket, bass in Wasque Rip . . . pretty safe to say that most everywhere has bass. Don't mean to be misleading, but it is not stellar, but hitting the right tide on the right conditions is producing some high quantities of fish. Occassionally some nice bass in the 30-40-pound class range are being taken.
The better news is the amount of bait around the island. Reports from the boat guys is large sand eels, big silversides, herring and they're as far as the eye can see. We still don't have any signs of big bait like menhaden, but we're still crossing our fingers. Bluefishing is good around the Chops, Wasque, and Menemsha jetty.
We had some really late tides last week, but now we're getting back to some decent tides early in the night so we can stop setting the alarm for 2 am.
