One of our locals caught a five and a half pound spanish mackarel from one of Chappaquiddick's beaches this past Monday, August 31st.  The Vineyard has been known to hold spanish mackarel, albeit it is not a fish we can consistently count on to join in our fun from year to year, but the Vineyard angler will hear or be lucky enough to catch a few each year. 

The bonito and albie fishing is improving each day, and now with reports of albies and bones being caught along the north shore of the island - it will only be a matter of hours before the multitude of anglers are crowding the jetties and the boaters are zipping around and pushing the fish all over the sound. 
Check out Livinit Blogs to get updated fishing reports.  I will try to keep you all updated to weekly, sometimes daily, fishing reports on Martha's Vineyard.  Being that I am primarily a surf fisherman, my reports will deal mostly with surf fishing.  I will at times, especially if something awesome or unusual is happening, give boating reports (like bluefin tuna in Vineyard Sound).
