The Striped bass fishing on Nantucket continues to be good, just in time for your Nantucket summer rental! The bass are feeding aggressively near shore and are getting bigger. Many fish have been caught in the 33’” range and there was a report of a 38” Bass caught in Nantucket Harbor.

When the surf and wind conditions permit, the South Shore beaches from Madaket to Tom Nevers have been productive. Some nice catches have also been reported on the North shore from Dionis up to the Jetties.

Nantucket Harbor is also beginning to heat up. The Bass that many have seen are now starting to bite. There have also been reports of  Striped Bass on the East end of the Island.

Dionis and Nantucket Harbor are good places to fish if you are looking for Bluefish. They are showing up all around the Island and should become even more established in the next few weeks as the water continues to warm up.

Great Point is now closed from the southern end of the Galls up to the Point due to nesting Piping Plovers. There have been a few small bass caught along the East side. As always, when you  move into your Nantucket summer house, be sure to check in with any of the local Nantucket Tackle Shops or your favorite Charter Boat Captain for the latest details about fishing on Nantucket.
