Check out my page on facebook, "Livinit Fishing Guide" for the latest in island hotspots, fish producing lures, and any and all things related to Martha's Vineyard fishing. With the temps nearing 50 degrees (47 to be exact), we are right on track for spring run stripers for mid to late April. The herring run is also showing small numbers of herring, along with the comorants and osprey piling out in front for a quick meal. The stripers will soon be here to make for the herring's run through the gaunlet all that more troubling.
I've done some reconnaissance over the winter and I've found some new spots that will hopefully produce some nice fishing. The island has also gone through some changes, caused by winter storms, which may or may not affect our usual spots.
Start booking your trips early as my schedule is already starting to fill. I expect the Vineyard to have another great year of fishing and I know I will not be disappointed. I'll be heading to the water within the next week so I hope to have some good news. Again, if you're looking for up-to-date reports, check out my page on facebook, "Livinit Fishing Guide".

Temps are rising people! With the bottom water temperature at 45.4 degrees we are only a couple weeks away from the stripers making their way past Martha's Vineyard. Every April vacation I make my first cast off South Beach in the hopes that the stripers have arrived. Except for last year, I have caught bass every time from 2003 to 2008. The water temps were a bit cooler last year, and I am hoping that this year puts me back on par with a spring striper for spring vacation.
Hope you all had a nice winter and to see you on the beach soon. Look for May's issue of "On the Water" magazine. I wrote a piece about surfcasting on Martha's Vineyard. See you on the beach!

Spring is almost here and with the nice temps today it made me seriously start thinking about fishing. If you're in the neighborhood, the Rhode Island Saltwater Expo is March 19-21. This is a great show and just the right activity to get the motivation to get your gear ready to go. Pretty soon the herring will be here, with the bass right on their coat tails.

Enjoy the off season everyone. Remember to get your rods and reels repaired, cleaned and serviced over the winter.
In the meantime, let me know if you come across any good articels or good books. I'm always looking for new tips and tricks. Visit some of the fishing expos and many fishing demonstrations put on throughout New England.
Enjoy this time, and in a few months we'll be hard at it . . . listening to our drags sing and clicks of our cameras. Happy New Year and hope to hear and see you next season.
