The big news is that as of today, July 2nd, Great Point is open again-Coatue is still closed.

Unlike news from the stock market, the Nantucket Fishing report continues to be positive. Striped Bass are being caught all around the Island from shore, in the rips, and on the Flats. The South Shore beaches have been more conducive to Surfing than fishing the past few days so wily anglers have been moving to more protected spots and have been catching fish.

Although the news could change any day now, Bluefishing continues to be spotty. We have been spoiled in recent years by hoards of Bluefish in late June near Nantucket real estate. They are here now, but relatively scarce. There are reports of Squid in Nantucket harbor. This is good news because they are fun to catch and should draw the Bass and Bluefish into the harbor waters.

The weather forecast for the holiday weekend is excellent.  Check with your local Tackle Shop or favorite Charter Captain for the latest information and get out there!
