The magic and quiet beauty of Hallowell Lane has attracted families for many generations. This quintessential summer cottage presents the essence of the peaceful Nantucket house setting far from the tourist crowds, while still enjoying close proximity to the hub of downtown activity.

Waterfront living offers active down time for everyone… building sandcastles, crabbing, and shelling for the young – fishing, boating, and picnicking for the young at heart – savored memories for a lifetime!

From this private beach and well perched deck you can watch the sun rise brilliantly over Great Point lighthouse and set stunningly over the beautiful island of Tuckernuck.

The view over the water is always captivating – whether it’s watching sailboats cross the Sound, seeing the gulls patrol the waters or observing the ever changing textures and hues. This Nantucket home has it all!

Windwalker Fishing Report-Week of August 16, 2010

There has been more talk about Seals stealing the fish before anglers can land them than  of the fish that are actually being caught but the reports are starting to be more positive.

The Bonito Bar in Madaket is starting to heat up with more multiple catches being reported. One boat landed 11 Bonita  in the 4-6 pound range. They are also catching Bluefish out there. Trolling Yozuris seems to be the most effective technique at the moment. There have also been spotty reports of Bonita in the Great Point Rip.

There are a lot of small Bluefish feeding off the beaches at Great Point right now but the Seals continue to be a problem. The further away from the actual Point that you fish, the better your chance of landing your fish before it is grabbed by a seal! A few Bonita have been landed by beach fishermen. There is a lot of bait in the water so the Bonita and False Albacore should not be far behind. Keep your eyes out for concentrations of feeding Terns and cast small metal lures with a quick retrieve on the surface.

There is talk of Bass starting to feed in close again. Sea Bass and Scup are still being caught off the West Jetty in Nantucket Harbor.

As always, book a trip with your favorite Nantucket Charter Boat Captain or check in at your favorite Nantucket Tackle Shop for the latest up-to-date Nantucket fishing news. The fishing should be improving daily from now through October so plan on taking advantage of the outstanding fall fishing on Nantucket.
